Hi guys, Does anyone know how you can put a vertical profile onto a wall. (like corrugated iron on a shed wall) Horizontal cladding/features can be achieve easily by the sweeps command, but I cant find out how to do veritical cladding. What im trying to achieve is a wall like in the attached pic.

Wall sweeps can be vertical also, when you click on wall sweep there is an option for vertical or horizontal... I wouldn't suggest modelling this however. Unless the project is small and there isn't too much repetition. HTH.

I've actually made a sweep using the panels profile based on shop drawings. 

Used the RGB code based on the color scanned in.

Use a camera view directly on the wall sweep and render the panel.

Export the image and adjust so it will map seamlessly.  Then apply the map to your wall and render.

This technique worked great before Revit Architecture 2009.  Mental Ray works a little differently with maps.

 If anyone can help shed some on how to do vertical wall cladding in 2009 please let me know.

You can create a map and apply that.  This will keep your file much smaller.
