Horizontal Material Blocks On Exterior Walls

[wilddonkey]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to figure out how to do horizontal material sections on exterior walls.   If you look at the screenshot... you'll see I have three different materials (vertically) on the wall.  Decorative block, wood panel, and white course brick.   I did the vertical sections by adding wall breaks.

 

I'd like to be able to do the same thing for horizontal sections of a wall.  If you notice on the screenshot I put two red squares... Is there a method I can use to assign different materials to those sections?

 

 

The only thing I've found referencing horizontal materials is using the "exterior room".... but that would put a band or stripe all the way around I think?

 

The only way I can think of to do it (short of making complex custom materials) is to use thin polyline solids and then assign the materials to those.   

 

 

 

Is there a normal way to do this (like there is to do the vertical wall sections)?

Glenn, (seems like I am talking to myself)

 

Open the wall's dbx and go to the Wall Covering panel.

Perfect, that's exactly what I needed, thank you Glenn!
