Brick band (on exterior wall) | Home designer Pro 2024

[AndreCollin]

 

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
