Modern Box Siding issues

The video that you are looking for is No. 5234

Just to throw another use at you guys - it's great for flush baseboards. Just set the material to the same thickness as the drywall and cut the wall material. This is something that I like to do with a small reveal between the Baseboard and the bottom of the Drywall. Two recessed "Custom Backsplashes" makes a nice 3D detail.

No one knows everything about every tool, that's why we are here , to learn about what's possible. It's not a workaround, you just have to learn what it can do.

Wow, I'm sure there are more things we can do with it, this is what this forum is all about, I don't know why all 25 thousand members aren't taking advantage of this. Their loss.

how is the non-CA-pro supposed to know this.

Even a pro could miss that (Chuckle Smiley). Terminology is important. A tutorial is a needle in a haystack if you don't know to look for it. IMHO poor use of terminology is not new to CA.

This tool is new to X6.
Heres a video:

I never thought of using that tool for that application

Precisely why it is potentially a workaround

If there is a need for these items then a dedicated tool or setting should be created
for them.

all these "secrets" lead to frustration and annoyance with the software

Lew,

You have gotta be joking - correct?

[Glenn Woodward]

Here is another use.
Did you ever want to have panels above and/or below a window in a multi-layered wall?

That is true, now the question is, what would you call the tool?

[Joe Carrick]

Glenn,

I don't think Lew's joking - but I do think he's being a bit ridiculous. We will never get anything worthwhile if we are constantly asking for a separate tool for every little possible "USE" definition. Maybe it would be better if the tools were titled in a more generic way, but we shouldn't need a bunch of separate tools that essentially do the same thing.

I vote for:

"Wall Veneer Material"

[Joe Carrick]

Now here's a problem:

The materials do not miter at outside corners - see pic. IMO this is a functional "Bug". I wouldn't want the final X6 release to be delayed just to fix this but maybe CA can tweak it for the first X6 patch.

Some thing I notice was that it won't cross from one wall to the next like say you have a gable wall with your normal below it won't cross the two of them , at first I thought it was a bug and then I guessed it was a limitation

Well wake me up Glenn - I missed this one completely... too busy drawing and fitting stupid polyline solids together. If this is a work around bring em on. I don't care what it's called but it's just made my life way simpler. Especially the fact that I can save it as a library object and it retains all of it properties.
