What you can change

  2. Enter the Name customers see in the configurator.

  3. Choose the Material, then the Mesh 3D profile, if needed.

  4. Choose a Color group.

  5. Select Generate icon to create the image shown in the selector.

Limit a siding to certain buildings

  1. Select Edit on the option and open the Visibility tab.

  2. Tick one or more Building styles, and one or more Roof types.

Leaving either list untouched means the siding is available on all of them.

Good to know

  • Options here only appear on the outside of the building. They aren't available on interior walls or inside rooms, and the tool sets that for you — you don't need to choose it, and it stays in place when you edit the option later.

  • Interior liner and sheathing options are managed in the Interior Walls tool.

  • Every material and profile in the IdeaRoom library is listed — start typing to narrow it down. If you need one that isn't there, contact IdeaRoom Support.
