Board and Batten "fill pattern" - best way?

rob2218 — Tue, 30 Dec 2014 22:52:20 GMT

if anybody has created this fill type already, surely would like some guidance on how they did it.
We have a "board and batten" type fill which needs to be represented in elevation.
see attached image.
was thinking something simple, perhaps one or two lines to designate the boards, with stipple type graphics to designate concrete.

How best to achieve this fill creation?

Can't really tell what you want, Rob. Board & Batten is typically a vertical installation... horizontal would require top z-flashing for every batten...?

ok.....here's the tutorial for anyone who wants to create their own custom fill patterns.
pretty simple.
Just make sure you toggle the appropriate buttons.

Sorry...perhaps I misnamed the pattern I was looking for. "Batten"? perhaps is what I was looking for?
it's the surface texture which has horizontal lines and parts of the concrete seep thru the horizontal boards. Gives the rough concrete surface an interesting look where the wood grain sometimes is seen "IN" the poured concrete surface itself.

I'd call that "Board Formed Concrete"

Thanks sir.

Bump in rendering is how to do that.
