Kalzip Rainscreen Advice

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi, Could I ask for help on how to create a material which would resemble Kalzip Rainscreen cladding please?

I've found a texture in the library, but, unfortunately, the textures in the library don't match up in the way the cladding in the photo would.

Thanks

Matt

This looks like a job for Super… Complex Profile.

Study the Complex Profile feature - you'll use it with the wall tool to create the horizontal cladding joints. Apply specific materials to each cladding segment.

Use a column as a SEO [Solid Element Operator] to create the vertical seam outcuts.

thanks for that, ill have a read through that.
My advice would be to download the various profiles from the manufacture and model it exactly like you will build it.

You can do this with the curtain wall tool very easily.
