  1. In keeping consistent with so many other things in my life - I've painted myself into a corner with the best intentions and could use a hand from some other folks who've been covered in paint before: I got hired to draft a series of post & beam barns for a local contractor. This is my first real deep-dive foray into 3D drawing but it's a fairly straight forward structure and there's more work of this kind if they like the results so why not. Anyway, the barns have 12"x3/4" vertical rough-sawn boards with 2"x3/4" battens over the seams. At the beginning of the drawing it was all simple enough since those are simple geometric shapes. But now, I want to add some accessory packs to the design and it's becoming very cumbersome and click-heavy to work with all these individual pieces of geometry as I want to make changes and then revert. Structurally, it's so simple that re-drawing the framing is a cinch but I'm looking for a simpler way to do the walls. I've explored the wall tool but I cant see how to make a non-contiguous component layer like the battens over the boards. I suppose I could create a profile and extrude it, but that just leads to the same number of moves downstream. There MUST be a smarter way to do this. Thanks for any ideas you have. --Sam
