Two different textures for one face of wall

Anonymous

Hi All,

Is it possible to apply two different textures and finishes for one face of a wall? One texture till a particular height and another one above that? Is this possible in AC9 . I know it is possible in Revit.

If it is possible how do we go about it?

Thanks!

There is an add on. I have seen it working at a demo. It was limited to some (5) areas per wall. This was more than you asked because has depth.

You can draw one wall on top of the other. Set the wall height for the lower portion of the wall. Select the wall in 3D, drag a copy of that wall and place it on top of the other. Change the material for the higher portion.

Maybe the Moldings and Panels object under Extras- Accessories- Wall accessories will help. Try the 'Base and Chair molding' option under general settings define the height of the low part of the wall click next and choose the material for it.

Hi,

I'm surprised that this hasn't come up yet.

Wall Surfacer - Objects On-Line

I've been using this for years and it serves 90% of my projects.
