How to add exterior Wall Covering to Bay Window?

I've added a brick "wall covering" to an exterior wall with a bay window in it.  The wall covering does not continue onto the bay window.  I also do not see an option for "wall covering" when I open the Bay Window spec.   As an alternate method, I tried taking an elevation and adding a "face" to the lower part of the wall, but the "face" wouldn't connect to the wall and would land about 6' in front of the bay window main wall.  I know I can fake it with a thin solid and get the right look with more effort, but before I bother with that, I wanted to see if there is something simple I'm missing.

Good idea - thanks.  That's easier than other options.  I will put in a bug report on this though, as the wall covering should work without disassembly of the bay window and defeating some of the ease-of-use for resizing, etc. 

 

I just checked, and currently the program doesn't add the wall covering on the interior of the bay either.  If you change the material of the main wall using the spraypaint tool, for example, the main wall and the embedded bay window walls all change together, so the program isn't treating the bay walls as separate in that case, so it seems logical that the wall covering should also apply.  The bay window spec could have a checkbox to turn off a wall covering, so the user could have that flexibility without having to disassemble the bay window.
