making wall surface textures

Anonymous — Sun, 07 Jun 2015 03:27:44 GMT

Hi
I am trying to set up some simple surfaces for our residential projects, (the office is using version 18 start edition....) and and am having a hard time getting a shingle wall. Plenty of clapboards in the library, but-no new england style shingle wall?
we need these to show up in our 2D model views, as well as the model.
Any help on how to achieve is appreciated.

This is what you have to do to create your own wall as lets say a composite.

First make your own 'Fill type' for your elevation view.
After that create a new surface with your own image as 'texture' and your new fill as 'vectorial hatching'.
Then create a 'Building material' with your fill and surface.
At last make a 'Composite' with your 'Building material'.
