Explore the methodical process of setting, modifying, and applying material to a building design, with a focus on using the ephison metal stud. Learn how to ensure proper wall orientation, apply surface patterns, adjust joints, and utilize the add/remove segments option for efficiency.
Key Insights
- The article provides a step-by-step guide on applying the ephison metal stud material to a building design's walls, emphasizing the importance of ensuring the walls are facing the correct way.
- The lesson also delves into the necessity of surface patterns for visualizing the material, advocating for the use of a drafting pattern with a sand texture for clarity.
- An efficient design process is highlighted, including setting panels to have the same material, using add/remove segments to simplify panel replacement, and the application of the match type tool for consistent panel material throughout the building.

Now these walls coming around the building here are all going to be the same type as well. And so what I'll do is I'll set those ones to the EIFS on metal stud. And that's actually the material that we want to use for that.
But right now it's not very obvious that that's the material that's being applied because we can't really see a surface pattern. We don't even know if we have the walls facing the right way, which I certainly hope we do. But we can go into the material and we can modify it.
And what I want to do is this material needs to have a surface pattern so that we can actually see what it is. And this will be a drafting pattern because we're going to use one of these sand ones. And so I'm going to go with just the regular sand because this one tends to be too dense and hit OK a couple of times to get out of there.
And now we have a surface pattern that's been applied to this exterior material. And we just want to check one thing real quick, make sure that this joint from our last material is lined up the way we want it to as well, because that corner is pretty important coming right into the building, you know. So the next thing we need to do here is we need to set these panels to have that same material.
And one of the things that we can do that would help us out is by taking out that joint on the curtain wall, using the Add/Remove Segments option, because then we'll just have the one panel that needs to be replaced. And so this is the panel that we're changing. And so if I go in and set that to the metal panel on metal stud, then what it'll do is it'll pop in that material and then we can adjust our joint the way we want it.

But first I want to apply it to all of these. And so I can use my Match Type tool to apply it to these panels just going around the building here and just a few more to go. And it looks like we have some corners that we need to clean up as well.
And you can see I missed the actual panel. So I'm going to undo back one and I just have to start that again.
