Angled Solider Course

I am trying to make this brick detail:

I am trying to get my brick solider to be angled as seen in the image above. I have tried using a blend with the side angled but it is still showing the solider course straight up and down:

Revit won't angle the lines. The only way to achieve what you want is to draw some model lines on the surface. If this is a family, you can do that with model lines on the surface - or detail lines in the elevation view. The first option is more robust. Making this parametric is more difficult.

Yes you can do it.  Model the element as a pie and use void to cut it to shape.

Sorry - forgot that old trick. But to clarify, it isn't a pie shape that is needed - it is a conical shape. The surface can't be a flat washer shape. It needs to slope.

Are you both sure that works for  a Soldier Coarse ...that's what the tile reads (to my knowledge...Not)

@BigPicture045 

It is not doable using material. surface pattern...you need to model it loadable family or a pattern based component (edit: considering there has been no feed back on previous post, I will step back on this one)

That only works for a full course.  For half-courses OP needs to do more work such as create parts /divide parts or create form / divide surface or some other method.

@ToanDN Are you modeling that as a sweep?

[RDAOU]

Something like this maybe

...when all else fails, just model it in Revit the way it will be built in the field.  😉

how did you make this?
