Interesting Wall Situation

[Clyne Curtis]

If you look at the attached image, I have a client who would like all the wall material between the columns and going up to the underside of the roof ridge to be board and batt siding. Currently it is a compound wall with a log sweep, and I am not quite sure of the best way to handle this. My first thought would be to depict the B&B siding as a filled region in the elevation and leave it at that. Any other ideas?

Thanks

Have you explored using the "split face" tool?

This allows you to split a region of the face of a wall and paint a different material onto it.

Can't you persuade the client to accept it as is? It's nicely done & I think blanking would spoil it. The most I would like to do would be to blank off the apex "internally" on the wall line. If you put external lights in, the structure would shine through ~ quick close up night shot of the area maybe to tempt the client?

Clyne, is the log sweep integral to the wall style? If it is, you can't break the sweep into pieces.

I would get rid of the integrated sweep, and create a wall sweep you add manually. Bring the log sweeps in from each side and terminate them so there's a break in the center where the shingle pattern goes up under the entrance roof.
