I'm would like to have two different colors of brick alternating courses as you go up the wall.  Is there a way to accomplish this with one wall type? 

 Essentially every 3rd course I would like to be a different color and the field brick color. 

 Thanks!

You can use a monster stacked wall alternating each course between two seperate wall types.  Take the wall type you are using go to it's properties, then hit edit/new, then duplicate and name how you want it, then click the edit structure button, then drop the material selection list, click the default "masonry-brick" then hit the Duplicate button.  Under Shading change the color to the desired color you want.  As far as the surface pattern goes you should be able to edit the pattern file to add an additional hatch like an AR Sand to differentiate your elevations.  But that's a little beyond me I've seen it done to integrate the fire rating and insulation lines within walls but can't figure out yet how it was done.
