A little more along these general lines — As was done in my post above, where ALL parts of the wall were made of COMPONENTS only, I wish I could do the same to achieve what is shown in the picture below. Unfortunately on the below, I had to make 2 parts from extrudes. One being the white sill between the stone and siding. The other being the siding itself. By the way, on the below, it is manufactured stone over mortar bed over OSB. No airspace The middle is sill over OSB The top is shingle over OSB I left out any weather resistant barrier for this example as I did in my upper post

Is this possibly something that would work for you? This is not using an extrude, but rather it's using a component to make the brick band. It's not perfect. The band intersects with the trim (brick mold) around the window. But because the trim is thicker than the band, you don’t see the intersection. I couldn't figure out how to offset the band ONLY so that it would not intersect. Maybe somebody else knows how to do that. I could have offset the brick veneer and the band together, but I didn’t want to do that because I figure the trim or brick mold needs to seat on top of the brick veneer. So I wanted to show the veneer as going behind the brick mold. The file can be a little buggy and may require a restart of VW if the texture for the band cannot be scaled or the H or V for it adjusted to your liking.

New forum member here. Not sure if there have been any updates regarding the below. So I thought I should post here first rather than in WISH LIST area of forum, at least until I confirm if things are as I found in the VW Help. VW Help says that - 'While many kinds of solid objects maintain a history that can be edited, generic solids do not. The use of a handful of tools—the Deform tool, Taper Face tool, and some modes of the Push/Pull tool—automatically results in a generic solid object.' I would like it if history was maintained on all operations of modeling, to where I could always get into a feature of the history to make an edit.
