    Dennis,
    I haven't done a lot with manipulating textures and materials. I was a little peeved that I couldn't find simple board & batten siding in a search of the core and bonus library catalogs. I need to get a handle on just how much you can edit these features. There are a lot of quirky little touches I would like to include. For example it would be cool if I could edit the roof material to turn several random individual shingles to transparent so that they would display as holes in the roof. Same goes for knot holes and cracks in the siding. Somehow I get the feeling that the software designers wouldn't put accomplishing such features very high on their to do lists.
