winterdd Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Hey guys, is there a way to make the soldier course uniform instead of having the staggered pattern? I used the "adjust material def" but no luck. I made a pline solid and use it as a lintel then paint it with the brick type/color. I am sure whatever suggestion you have should work for the brick sill too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Your brick material is staggered. You need to use a different material that is not staggered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried course but it widens/narrows with the window size and not uniform. The brick I used is called Tan Terra and does not have a course size. Example shown, surely the adjust material def manipulates this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdd Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share Posted November 20, 2023 I figured it out, uncheck stretch to fit and give the XY texture scale 40 and 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlesVolz Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Check your 3D view, make it a vector view, then check your material, make sure the pattern and texture are in sync. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Quote Do you know why the layout files changes the brick lines? Yes, it's because your layout is showing the material patterns and your camera view is showing textures. Materials have both and they can be set to be different or set to be the same. Charles suggestion to switch your camera view to use the vector view render technique will show you what the patterns look like and give you a better preview of what the layout will look like (especially if you are using "plot lines").
