I forgot to mention that if you set the height of the molding polyline the opening breaks are automatic...I think. Been a while since I have done this but it works. You just need to calculate the correct heights of the moldings and the correct offsets from the height of the molding polyline.

how well do you think this will render? It is a HUGE building and I am going to be including the view of another building besides it and part of the parking lot. Would it show in rendering?

It depends on how deep the v shapes are as they relate to the overall structure. The way I see it a quick view of the 3D model may be just what is needed to see if the grooves do what the architect intended. If not then they may need to look at alternatives that add more definition, say a channel shape perhaps with an accent color...or something. It should not take too long to create a profile and add that to a molding polyline. Then I would do a quick raytrace to see if it works or not.
Hope that helps.Larry

Before spending hours drawing.....I would find a building with a similar finish and with expansion joints Vertically and Horizontally. Stand back approximately the distance from the building and visualize intended rendering,and at times of day you plan in your renderings. My guess is you won't see any detail and would be a waste of time drawing it..(in detail that is)....not to say don't do anything, certainly you want to break up the massive wall areas, I don't think you will see any detail from what your telling us as to the size of the building, Unless you think it'll cast shadows Etc. Etc.

Angela:
Can you provide a bit more detail?
Approximate size of structure?
Depth of EIFS system?
Intended shape of "V" (width at open side and depth)?Larry
