How do you add a brick row lock on a porch slab

Thanks Ron

[Allen McDonnell]

Solids, and then apply a texture that looks good.  The brick row lock will not look as nice as what we can do on openings.   I guess you could dbl up the solid to make the indention...but that would be cumbersome.

Thanks Allen i did that but it will not show the brick line up in the row lock i found a single brick in symbles but can not figure out how to set

it up for indvisal pices

thanks Ron

Base Trim is much faster.  You'll need to change the finish so you don't end up with brick baseboards in the house.  If you are using Softlist you may need to make some changes as well.

Thanks Philip i did that but it dose not show up i did a cube and added the solder am i doing something wrong

thanks Ron

Try the Banding command.

Is this the look you want?

Softplan usually has several ways to accomplish the same thing, but on the site plan I would place four  solid polygons with mitered corners. Make sure the two opposite sides are solid1 and solid 2 so when you surface edit the two sides can turn the brick solider 90 degrees. Then draw the outline for the 'Site Work' 'Concrete' . You'll need to tweak the elevations of the solids and on one of the solid textures of the brick solider options may need to check scale.

 

Hopefullly the photo uploaded

I typically use walls for the brick around a porch. I have a special wall just for that.

It would be nice if we could easily add borders to slabs.

Thank you. That makes more sense now. The number of solutions posted, all seemed to fix a different problem.

[Ron Sirolli]

David that is what i did you just have to draw a cube arounf the edges ans paist the solder course to the cube

If we could get some of the features and /or options that we have when drawing decks added to concrete slabs, it would be much appreciated.

Here’s some examples:

And, we can add insulation under a slab by checking a box, how about adding another box to automatically add gravel underneath the slab and insulation?
