I have been trying to form a brick soldier course over a curved window and to be honest I cant take it any more. I have tried splitting the surface of the wall and applying the material but all the bricks are vertical. I tried creating a wall hosted family and couldnt get that to work correctly. The closest I got was building the soldier course into the window family but cant get the morter joints to display correctly. As can be seen from the image, the mortar joints seem the be at a different radius to the extrusion. Please help. I have trolled the net for video tutorials but the ones that are refered to on this site dont seem the be there any more. If someone did a tutorial on this matter Im sure there are quite a few out there that could learn a lot from it, myself included. I have enclosed an image of the two efforts I made and also the window family I am using. Cheers.

You can't do this with a material.  You need to create a face based brick family (thin) and array that around your arch.

Yes, that is a cool solution.  He posted that last week on another thread.  Interesting how skewing the form forces revit to alter the pattern.
