Does anyone have a paint pattern to mimic Hardie Shake Siding with the random pattern down that they would like to share?

 

Thanks,

David

There's a pattern called "cedar shake" under  Roofing in the paint library, that should be near enough.

Alternately, I've done a couple of tweaks and removed the angles on the standard cedar shake pattern to produce this. Does that work.

Are you a Softplan + subscriber?

 

If so, .. there's a good selection of random shake in

I have that folder, but it's empty. It's not the only one that's empty. I could have sworn that I downloaded the additional content, when I got this new computer. How do I download this content?

 

The Certainteed folder has some similar shakes too.

Under the Help Tab, you have Download Additional Content tab.

It says I've already downloaded additional content.

 

On further investigation, these are PNG files, and the dialogue box only shows JPG's by default ... Dear Softplan, can you make these folders default to ALL FILES the same comment goes for the OPEN dialogue box.

Strange. Under Siding and Polymar Shakes, the only option I have is Horizontal Siding.

For whatever reason, my dialogue box shows all files,  .png or otherwise.

Keith, ..

 

Your selection under 'Certainteed' looks more comprehensive than mine (see attached), ..

 

Yet you say, you don't have anything under 'Allura-Fiber'

 

I'm assuming users downloads have been differing, .. ?

 

PostScript: The CertainTeed Shake textures have a nicer look than those used under Allura-Fiber anyway IMHO

 

Post PostScript:  I'm still with 2016, .. you've moved up to 2018, .. more than likely that plays a part in differences


.. invariably, someone will have a simpler solution.

For some reason, now they show up (even the Allura-Fiber).

A suggestion has been made to show all supported file types since we support more than one file type when using Paint- Image.

 

To clarify another point, anything under SoftPlan+ is not part of the Additional Content Download. The SoftPlan+ content will download to your system when you touch the folder that it is contained within as long as you have an active internet connection. You may notice folders being populated with new content when you open a SoftPlan+ folder that has not been used before.
