    It seems I could spend a lot of time picking ya'lls brains.

    Question 1: How do you add Quions to your exterior corner. Ex: Brick wall step 4 bricks x 3 bricks out 1/2 inches.

    Q2: How could you do that with stone on brick?

    Q3. How do you guys add eybrows to a gable?

    HMM...

    I usually do not do quoins. You can create a mass element, place and anchor to the wall.

    For the eyebrows, I would use mass elements to model it out, trim it the way you need it, convert it into a roof slab, and anchor it to the corresponding slab. Any sort of curved roof in ACA is somewhat of a pain in the rear.

    I know that VisionREZ has some nifty trim items such as quoins, I do not remember off hand what they use, but I bet that mass elements are part of it, maybe create the mass element, set it as a block and use it as a custom object on a column structural style.

    Remember though that the Anchors are your friend when it comes to things like that.
