Vertical Siding

My advice above blows. It's WAY too hard to find a pattern when vertical siding doesn't come with a pattern already spec'd. Please, someone tell me it's easier than this video shows.

 

Here's the right way to do it.

 

 

Here's the wrong way, but might be entertaining.

Larry,

 

You almost got there.

Open the Define Material dbx - easiest way is the rainbow tool.

On the General panel, select strip.

I think you got up to here correctly. 

 

Set Height to the board width (we will rotate pattern next).

Go to the Pattern panel and set Angle to 90deg. 

Done.

 

You only need to use the Pattern Source section for complicated patterns like paving, complex brick patterns etc.

Simple patterns you can control with the Material Type (Strip).

Dennis,

 

I'm coming over a bit early to get some training from D Scott in San Diego and then driving up to San Francisco. :)

Yea right, that's like saying Tiger Woods is going to get golf lessons from Charles Barkley.......... Well, come to think of it, the way Tiger is playing, lessons from Barkley could not hurt.
