For the first time in 25 years, I have been asked to do Board and Batten Siding on a project. Does anyone have a good wall definition and a good 3D texture to properly show it? I really could use some help on this. Doug@allprohomeservices.com

[Sam Morgan]

for the texture, I usually use manufacturers--->softplan+--->certainteed--->vinyl siding and polymer shakes--->verticle siding--->board & batten   then adjust the size as needed.  Works pretty well.  You could just use one of your normal wall definitions and change to siding b or c then change the texture.

 

In 2D, I use the board and batten paint in the siding folder then stretch it 150%.  The standard paint isn't wide enough to look like what's really getting built right now

You can also create an excellent 3d wall by using the vertical profile option in the wall definition.

All of my board and batten is a smooth board.   I did a profile and saved it in Sidings, that is a 16" wide board with a 2 1/2" batten, 3/4 thick

Need to change the profile to vertical.           This is what I'm doing for B&B

Like Fred, I created my own by drawing a 2D profile, then using it in the wall definition.

I got it figured out.

I am doing a board and batten sided house right now... and b&b siding was in my wall library.

I got it ..thanks all!  I know this looks strange but client wants to keep part of the original look at the gable ends. HOA is demanding he use board and batten to match his home.
