Help on how to create wall cladding slats alternating in thicknesses.

Hey everyone, i am wanting to create new wall cladding which will resemble timber slats. My problem is, i am wanting them all different dimensions and only every 12th one roughly is the same. I am struggling to work out how to go about this considering the different dimensions. If anyone can lend a hand, that'd be greatly appreciated. Hopefully i have explained enough.

Thanks,

Aaron.

I'll use for this a Curtain Wall with a custom Curtain Wall Panel module that has a predefined height ( cast into a similar height Curtain Grid )

Thank you @constantin.stroescu

I used your technique to create a curtain wall. I am finding it a bit difficult to create a clean wall with board and batten style panels with this technique though, especially ends of walls where the panel isn't trimming to meet end of wall, instead overlapping to fit full panel in. I am thinking i may try another way, by utilising a mass. I am about to try pick facing a massed import from sketchup, where i have made the exact cladding. Pick facing all faces with a wall/roof a couple mm thick, but i dont think this is what i want/need either. I am mainly wanting to utilise a parametric family by the looks of it. I may try and pick apart a stud wall pre-set and see if i can add onto that. I am not an expert on Revit sorry, just a student trying to utilise my own ideas instead of presets. Thank's again for the reply and help. Oh and forgot to mention, i need the cladding/panel to be floor to ceiling.

There is a way to make the panel always fit, fully or partially, with a void built in the panel family.

Batt & Board? That's vertical. Are you talking vertical or horizontal in this case? Either way, what about wall sweeps? No reason a single profile can't represent several board widths.
