Capehouse Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Hi Folks, I'm new to X6, been using 9.5 since it came out. Love the program so far. Jumbo learning curve though. A problem I always ran into was the way chief applied the corner boards. It sticks them over the siding instead of tight to the sheathing, the way it is in the real world, or at least how we do it in Mass. I was hoping X6 would rectify this but apparently not or am I missing something? Our usually practice is to pre build the outside corner boards with either 1x6/1x5 or 5/4 stock and then slap them on the sheathed corners and butt the siding, be it claps or cedar shingles up against them. My drawings always looked odd with the corner boards hanging out off the siding. Any ideas/work arounds? Thanks in advance, Mike X6 i5-4690 GTX760 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeJG Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 You could make the thickness of the corner board the minimum 1/16" to make it appear flush, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evergreen Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Yeah, not much flexibility there. I believe they were originally designed to be used with a vinyl siding. You may have to resort to P-Solids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capehouse Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Polyline solids is what I was afraid of. That's going to get pretty tedious for a whole house with addition and dormers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
