    Default Horizontal wall component offsets

    Here's one. I think it would be great if you could create a wall style with several horizontal components (i.e. accent brick courses), but instead of figuring out the actual dimensions from the wall bottom, you could just use an offset.

    For example, if I have a 17' tall wall, and an accent course every 2'-3", then I need to input 0 to 2'-3", then the accent would be 2'-3" to 2'-6", then brick from 2'-6" to 4'-9", accent from 4'-9" to 5' and so on.

    It would be way easier to have a toggle to use offsets instead, so I could highlight all of the brick courses, and have them offset 2'-3" automatically. It's just time consuming entering every dimension. Not to mention if your math is off on one, then all of the components from that point are off.

    I don't think that can be done now, can it?

    Would you be able to post a quick sketch of this wall in 3d? I am reading "horizontal" but visualizing vertical...

    ahh, thanks UK Steve! Yep, that's what I mean by horizontal components!
