GeneDavis Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I'd like to be able to model this in Chief. The "walls" that are the roof interior finish, are done with an architectural panel system hung with z-clips and snap-clips and precision set with reveals. The material is 1/2-inch phenolic sheet with a woodgrain laminate. None of the vertical walls in the project are hung with the panels, only the pitched roof undersides. Sure wish Chief would let us do material regions on roof undersides. What would you do to get this look in 3D with Chief? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Just like tiles but much larger. Create a material set to tile with a thin dark border and you will be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 How would I make such a material? I would need an image, a material, a full 48 x 96 sheet of veneer, a black 3/16" strip across the top and one side, total size 48 3/16 x 96 3/16. And tile-able, meaning the grain at the bottom of a sheet is a match to that at the top, so that a stack of sheets going up the "wall" looks like continuous grain as you go from bottom to top across sheet joints. If I could not make it that way, and the perfectionist in me makes me want that kind of realism for this job, I'd do it as a color and not woodgrained. But how would I make such a material, even this simpler way, so I could get true-scale tiling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 2 hours ago, GeneDavis said: How would I make such a material Grab an Image off Google Images of Birch plywood and have a play in Microsoft Paint....... the black lines are from the Background in Paint similar to how you do grout lines in tile as CS mentioned. this image is made as 4 sheets across X 2 Sheets high as a test.... and set to 16'x16' in chief in the material definition. Texture is too large to upload but here is the plan so you can save it out to your library if you think it'll work for you... Birch Panelled Ceiling.zip Mick.

glennw Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 You can get something like this from the library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
