A complex profile only extrudes in the direction of the wall length - so only horizontal details.

Vertical extrusions require various tricks.

If you are trying to do battens, see James Murray's free Batten object here:

You can also model the vertical elements with profiled columns (but have to cut/adjust them around windows/doors).

Another option is to create a 3D cutting pattern using Trussmaker or other tools and then use a Solid Element operation to subtract this from the wall, creating a pattern of reveals.

CadImage has an add-on that lets you create custom claddings, including those with vertical elements:
