    Default Brick pattern aligment

    I would like to create a non-vertical wall faced with brick (think lighthouse here!). I made a mass from a blend, created the wall by face and voila! junk!!!
    Any idea how I control the mapping a la viz/max type cylindrical?

    Mapping (orientation via UVW) of bitmaps is not supported in Accurender in Revit

    Breaking cylinders and cones into flat facets may help with the materials' rendered appearance. I don't think it will be perfect but it can get close.

    Thanks Skisouth,

    I thought not, but was hoping I'd missed something. Hi ho, It's off to Viz I go.

    Nice image, Truevis. I will try the facet method (imperfect is much better than nothing)

    You can get very close to real position with brick on flat surfaces, but may have to shift the render material definition to fit your model.
