decorators3 Posted Friday at 02:05 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:05 PM Hi Most of my renderings are exterior . horizontal siding has different profiles that show well in PBR.. however Board and batten does not have any depth so is unrealistic . I was watching a You Tube video that Rene Rabbitt put up but don't know what materials he used or how the saved it So what is the best method to having a more realistic look for Board and Batten.. polylines? .. have to do a lot of cutting for windows and doors - takes time that I cant bill for Any suggestions are welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted Friday at 02:18 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:18 PM I use another wall framing Layer (extreme exterior Layer) with 2.5" width x 3/4" thickness. It will frame with a bottom plate \ double top plate, as well as headers an sill plates. It actually creates very manageable edits - but works pretty well. I've also used Wall Material Regions but there are edits needed with that method as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joey_martin Posted Friday at 03:01 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:01 PM I tend to use the material region tool. I create a batten and then muti-copy as needed all over the plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneDavis Posted Friday at 03:41 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:41 PM @PitMan71 material region is the preferred way and this has been discussed in earlier threads. Do a search and find some. Then try it yourself. What is nice is that copy and repeat horizontally across an elevation places the battens quickly and trims them to gable lines and above and below all window and door openings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted Friday at 03:41 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:41 PM Yes, but you also need to use an exterior room molding polyline for the horizontal at the top and bottom. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
