DianeP Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Any suggestions on how to modify a material so that I can create this effect. I have created a 2" reveal and a 7" reveal, but never one that alternates between two sizes. Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric is there an image editor that you like to use that is easy to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DzinEye Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 GIMP is free and very good...not particularly easy per se... but lots of YouTube videos to explain almost anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DianeP Posted November 12, 2020 Author Share Posted November 12, 2020 Well darn, The above options work in the 3d perspective views for the materials, but the pattern is still single lines 7" apart in the vector and 2d views I send to my layouts.. Anyway to get the pattern 5" and 3" for the 2D views? Thanks for all the great ideas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotbow Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Robert, Can you please explain how you did that 5x3 staggered siding. I'd like to make several different reveal patterns, like 12/6/6/12 for example. Thanks in advance. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotbow Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I tried, but it came out as a tiny piece, on the material preview. Try as I might, I could not make fill the preview block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
