I am trying to model a stepped CMU wall with brick trim around the top and sides (see photo attached). I have edited the profile of the wall and made the steps but when I edit structure and add a sweep on top it only adds it to the top of the first step. the sweep then cuts thru the middle of the CMU steps behind the front step. and i have no idea how to add the brick to the side edges of the wall.

if any one can offer the best fastest way to model this i would be very appreciative.

thanks

Brian

Try this method instead...

1. Use a cornice
2. For the wall end, you could split the face of the wall and paint the stacked brick material on the face then paint the different stacked brick on the end of the wall
3. or you could do an in-place element with correct material

There are so many ways to do this and I think I have changed my mind.

You already have your running bond brick material.  You will also need a stacked - sailor face material.   Now simply split the wall face and paint the sailor material on the apprpriate faces. 

If I have time later, I might be able to walk you trough it with some images.

any info on how to modify the brick soldier material to show a header pattern. this is where the brick is laid length wise and only the end is exposed in the wall face.

thanks

You need two different materials.   One for each face.
