Box Rib Cladding

Anonymous
Not applicable
I am trying to create a wall composite with an box rib exterior wall covering. I've dug around some older posts and it seems that people have created a composite/complex profile combination with two separate "walls".

Is there anyway to create a wall composite that has a vertical box rib cladding that will show up in both 2D and 3D (have 3 dimensional properties instead of just a texture?) all in one?

CadImage has wall coverings to purchase, but I wanted to see if AC20 offered this as a standard library part?

Thank you,

The coverings from 3rd parties are also a 2nd added layer to the bit of wall excluding that cladding.

Some manufacturers have cladding addons/parts available through bimobject.com, perhaps some of the profiled vertical cladding as well.

I have allways done this with textures (as you mentioned as the other option) as I do not like to see all the shadow casting on my elevations from this 3D detail, but that is personal preference.
