Siding Issue

[GRSmsdb555]

Hello all!

 

Chief newbie here with an issue I'm hoping for guidance on.

 

I'm getting an odd transition between a first floor brick wall and a second story siding wall.

 

Existing construction shows that the second floor siding has been brought down the exterior wall to cover some of the first floor brick to a point just above the first floor windows.

 

I'm not certain how to achieve this in Chief. These are the results I'm getting.

As you can see the band of vertical siding is not ideal and I don't know where that's coming from or how to fix it.

 

Here is what the first floor shows when I select the surface in 3D view.

 

Here is a section through the window. I've made the 2nd floor siding 1" thick to make it stand out more.

 

Here is what my first floor wall definition is.

 

Here is what my 2nd floor wall definition looks like.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Best,

GRS

You could try using a pony wall on the first floor with the elevation of the lower wall portion (brick) set to stop at the first floor window head height; the upper wall portion should be the same wall type as the second floor.
