Hello estimated community !
I would like to decorate the same exterior wall with different brick colors (e.g. in bands) ,I know, I can do this with the "Pony Walls", but I am looking for some more flexibility.
I would like to draw horizontal bands or blocks with different brick colors.
I have found a way , but highly doubt this is the right way to do it.
1) Display Cross section/elevation view with the exterior wall
2) Design a Cad "rectangular Polyline" on the exterior wall
3) convert the Polyline (block) into a "backsplash" , the backsplash is the only option that is not "greyed out"
4) Change the thickness of the backsplash to the minimum (1mm) and pick a brick from the material library.
Any advice on best practice for this design issue would be super welcome!
Kind regards,
André

Hello,
I encountered some issues with my first Home Designer Pro 2024 adventure.
As I am in Europe, you will see that all measurements are in metric; sorry for that.
I added the plan file with this message and a pdf with some extracts from the plan and camera views to clarify the issue.The issue is that the terrain continues in a part of the basement. The setup sequence of the plan might be the source of the problem:
- Created the 1ste Floor,
- Then heightened the foundation walls to obtain a basement ( +/- 6 feet)
- Added an additional basement on the back of the house with no 1st floor on top. (as there is a deck on top of that basement extension)
- Added a deck on top of the additional basement
- Created the terrain and adjusted the terrain elevations.
I am trying to figure out how to handle the terrain elevation issues at the back of the house; when focusing on the elevation lines, Home Designer tries to make up for the difference.
I also thought that a Retaining Wall might help to, to no avail. I tried several scenarios on test plans but without success.
I’m hoping someone with more experience with Home Designer can see the problem.
Kind regards, Andre
