    Adjusting brick soldier course

    I made a soldier course for above this brick opening. I made the symbol a molding and then applied it of a 3D molding line. I think this was correct way to do this. Is there a way I can adjust the soldier course so a full brick starts out at the edge of the arch? As always all advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Allen Brown has a great video tutorial detailing the process.

    On second thought, maybe that is the process you used..... but maybe not..... I do not think you will get those half courses if you use AB's method.

    The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.

    We can please some of the people some of the time, but we can't please all the people all of the time..... but I will keep trying.

    If you are interested in keeping abreast of any new videos, please subscribe to my channel at YOUTUBE...... channel is ds hall

    Scott- I watch Allen's video some time ago and thought I did it like he showed. I'll have to go back and review his video.

    If that doesn't work, make some changes in the X&Y origins in the material DBX:
