PATTERN

[winterdd]

What is the correct way to achieve this? I want the board and batten brought down to hide the LVL. I like exposed beams but the owner doesn't. Attached is a screen shot showing the simple dropper tool and the pattern not orientated right and essentially this is not a "real world" way of doing it but it is quicker to get the point across. Note that I used a ceiling beam and edited the size and type to 12' LVL. Would you.....

 

(a) create a new pattern rotating the board & batten 90 deg?

or

(b) build a polyline solid, give it the B&B material and attach to the side of the LVL?

(c) edit the wall polyline to cover the beam. 

 

P.S.  Also we are no longer allowed to have LVL in an exposed situation anyway.

very true....I should have called it an exposed stained/painted beam or something. I knew someone would catch that.

I will look into both methods from you and chop. I have been manually building my porches lately with the beams and columns.
