I'm working on this house in Jackson hole and the architect has created a repeating pattern of random widths of ship lap. I created an array of the pattern from a face hosted void family but it's not perfect. The lineweights are dark since it's pulling from the Projection lineweight of walls. It also doesn't work great because the pattern won't cut at corners where the end wall is intersecting. It would be great if we could see the joints in plan for detailing. Can anyone think of another efficient way to do this? I've went with a subtractive approach but maybe an additive approach where I"m adding in the boards on top of the sheathing? I thought that would be harder because of the roof pitch.

As far as your corner issue goes, I think that could be solved by setting wall join to "miter".
