Hi, Can someone tell me how to make the Gable ends a different material than the exterior walls.  Or for that matter if I want one wall different than the other walls, how do I change one without changing all of them?

 

Thankyou,

Kathy

Use a different material. The default is Siding A but you can choose B, C,D or E.

3 ways i'd consider:

 

1..create another wall with another material

2..edit the roof lollypop, click radio button 'gable end provided by roof' then select the material

3..modify a wall type to use multi sidings. (most complex to do but works well on balloon framed wall with different sidings necessary)

 

bottom line.....get creative on finding solutions when using SP

Thank you for your time.  Now it seems I have learnt that before. 

 

Yes, I like that.  Get creative.  That gives me more ideas.  I made the truss accent to fill the gable and the customer actually wants each of the sections with the grain going a different way.  So that should be possible on SP by making separate walls for each.
