So I was handed this picture to mimick the siding. Could somebody advise me as to how would I go about replicating this as an ArchiCAD material and vector fill?

Hi,

firstly have you got a photo of this that is more square on? because if you have it is fairly simple to make the material.

Also, do you have photoshop?

The fill you can draw with lines on the floor plan, copy the lines, go to: Options - Element Attributes - Fill Types and select New. highlight symbol fill, name it, hit OK and hit the paste button above the window.
