Material Direction on a Blend

I am drawing a coffee shop with exterior seating.  The roofs are supported by wood columns.  At the base of the columns there is a 4' tall concrete pedestal with an ashlar veneer.  This pedestal tapers from 2 ft square at the base to 15" square at the top.  I modeled this using a blend.  Pretty simple.  However, when I add an ashlar material to it, the direction of the material changes on each side.  How do I correct this?

I wrote about my observations on my blog, using a void to influence material pattern orientation.

I usually create a "rotated" version of my primary material with the image map rotated 90 degrees that I can paint on as needed.

Thank you for your reply, but I don't think that this helps.  I have neither voids nor sweeps in my model.

Model Pattern?  How about just rotating the surface pattern on those faces? If it's a Model Pattern, you can tab select line elements in the Model Pattern. Select one and then use Rotate Tool to rotate it 90 degrees - or whatever.  

 

Ah, Realistic! That won't work. You need another material with a rotated image.

I made this as a column base family.  The material is one of the parameters.  It is drawn as a flex blend shape.  If I make the top & base dimensions the same, the ashlar pattern maps correctly (parallel to the deck).  But if I change the top of the blend to a dimension different from the base, then on two sides of the blend, the ashlar pattern is parallel to the deck; on the other two sides the ashlar pattern is perpendicular to the deck.

The image applied is the "Limestone - Ashlar Coursed" from the Revit 2019 material browser.

I added a small rectangular void at the base of my mockup family, fixes the orientation.

Hey!  The void absolutely worked.  Thank you very much.
