Hello all, I am still in 2008. See attachements. There are two photos of the James Hardie Artisan siding with a very noticable reveal. There are two pdf attached one is the lap siding which is something I did in AutoCad and the other is the siding straight line which is in Revit 2008. It would be great if the sding had depth to it not just a straight line. How can I get that look in my revit model? Thanks, Raina Mc

That sure does seem like a teidous way to do it. So you go in and place every single piece of siding as a sweep?

Hummm, You can Create a "Generic Wall Based" family to do that, with a array to control the number/height you need.... OR a Create-in-place.... OR in the properties of the wall you can add those profile "sweep"..... There are several ways to do that....

All right Typhoon I went in the wall properties and added sweeps to the wall with the siding profile. Then duplicated the profile and changed the offset. Looks great except that I just noticed for some reason it is showing through my windows at the top. Ugh! Any solutions? Thanks, RainaMc

All right Raina, like you can see you can circumvent the situation with the properties of the window/door itself, "push" the window/door a little to exterior.... I hope this solve the issue....

Nope that is not fixing the problem. I am not sure what to do. Will you check it out if I send you the wall with windows?
