Board & Batten

Is there ANYTHING else in the library for board & batten besides what we all have, CA board & batten and James Hardie products. Hardie B&B is too close together and looks like metal and CA B&B just doesn't stand out as well in renderings. See below, one is my file and the other is my same file I threw into chatgpt. The battens are way better in chatgpt and more appealing to send clients. Not a big deal though, just asking. I love CA, don't get the wrong idea.

If not on X18 then I like to use a material region. You create a batten and then multi copy it down the length of the wall. It will cut itself around openings and gables. It's pretty easy to do. You can also add a "framing" layer to the exterior and have it "frame" the battens, though I didn't have good luck with that method.
