Composite wall end material ?

Anonymous
Not applicable
Is there a way for you to give each skin their own material when using a composite wall?
In the wall selection settings under model there only seems to be 3 options.
Outside of reference line material, end wall material and opposite of reference line material.

Please see attached screen shot. I am trying to get the brick just to show on the outside. I have used the curtain wall tool for my window and can't add a casing.

Any ideas?

That is it unfortunately.
Some window and door objects are (or can be) scripted to add reveal to the side to match the internal and external material of the wall.
I am not sure about the standard windows and doors as I don't use them.

I don't know if curtain walls could be scripted to do the same.
