SoftPlan wish list item: It would be nice to be able to define corner trims to have different colors .. Because it's not uncommon to have different siding types and colors on a single project, and the limit of ONE corner trim color is limiting..

 

here is my work-around..

 

I define QOUINS to be small in height, with ZERO gap, and same width as the corner trim..

I have two outside trim corner symbols for various reasons, different color would be a good use.  90 deg and 135 deg

 

however don't use color much now.

Ditto.  Ditto.  Ditto.

Ditto. Ditto. Although I do use colour ...extensively.

 

Having said that, there are many instances where we need options to change the colours (to be fair I haven't started using 2022 yet so don't know what changes there are). For example roof beams are quite often painted differently on the front deck and the rear deck.

 

And a lot of wall materials need options.Five sidings is fine, but only one stone is available which means that a stone sill (natural) and a stone facing (man-made) have to be the same on a fireplace internally and a wall externally.

 

We should ideally be able to define our own additional materials the same as area's etc.

Interior mode works great for "painting" different colors on the exterior.. without need for different wall types..
Perhaps an exterior finishes mode?
