What is the easiest way to model unusual brickwork such as this:
I'm trying to model the jagged brick work (not sure what you'd call it).
Are there any downloadable wall styles which can be imported - which might help?
How can I do this please?
Thanks
Another approach to do those brick corbels would be a Beam System. FWIW.
Hello @barthbradley,
New here and I'm looking to do the exact same corbels you have suggested but I'm struggling to get the same result.
Is this something custom which you need to draw? How did you achieve this please?
Well, as mentioned her, there are several approaches. But common to all the approaches is that the individual corbel itself needs to be modeled first. What I'm showing is the corbels applied via a Beam System. That is, my individual corbel is built in a Structural Framing Family Template which is loaded into the Project. Perhaps, the easiest way for you to go about it -- and easiest way for me to describe to you -- would be to model the corbel in a face-based family Template, and then place and array an instance of it in the Project.
I've been banging my head against the wall all weekend trying to get a railing system to work. Plenty of tutorials and I have the basic idea of railings but this being bricks...
I have this:
The first issue at the red boxes. The railing sketch path on the right is the same length as that leg on the left but it contains one more brick. How come?
Secondly, I cannot get any semblance of the corners to look right. I assume I use a post which is turned 45 degrees? Is that the correct thing to do?
Thirdly, I keep getting warnings that my "top reference is below my bottom reference for one or more balusters...". I cannot see which part of the balusters it is referring to. As far as I can see the top is above the bottom!!!
Can anyone see what is going on here? Thanks
That error is regarding the end and corner posts. Just set start, center and end post to "None". You're not using them.

Because the sketch line is not centered on the geometry of your railing and balusters if you look at from a floor plan view.

The corners seem okay to me. if you want the brick pattern keep pointing to the same direction instead of turning then you have to create each segment as a separate railing of a type that only has the bricks, then draw the top/bottom rails as continuous rail of a type that has no bricks.
Thirdly, I keep getting warnings that my "top reference is below my bottom reference for one or more balusters...". I cannot see which part of the balusters it is referring to. As far as I can see the top is above the bottom!!!
If things look right then you can ignore it. Or set the base of the balusters to host with an offset instead of to the Bottom rail.
