Making Wall Texture

BEFORE you make windows and doors, you should complete the walls and then use holes to cut out your windows and doors!

You have 2 options for texture taught here, but you can come up with your own as long as you get it approved.

On this street, a house made of brick will be worth up to 20% more than a house made of siding.

How to Make Brick:

1. Create a wall that will be the back for your brick wall.  Make it 1mm thick. This is your base wall.
2. Create a brick that is 1mm wide x 1mm deep x 2mm long.  Place it in the bottom left of your wall and make sure it is contacting the 1mm thick base wall.


3. Change the snap on Tinkercad to 0.1mm.  Change the brick dimensions so you take 0.1mm off of all sides of the brick.  You should take 0.1mm off the left and right instead of 0.2mm off of one side.  This is so that the brick is centered in the right position.

4.  Change the snap back to 2.0mm.  Duplicate this brick by pressing cntl-D.  The new brick will be copied on top of the old brick.  Click the brick and press the arrow keys to move it over.  Since the snap is 2mm, it will move over perfectly.  Once it moves, you can press cntl-D and it will paste the new brick over 2mm from the last.  Repeat this until you have your brick wall.

How To Make Siding

1.  Do a search for "House Siding 3mm" and you will find my model which I made public.
2.  Simply copy the shapes and then adjust them to fit on the outside of your building.  Remember that you need a 1mm base shape, and then the siding actually overlaps with it!  Remember that the printer resolution is 0.3mm so you will have to make sure the siding sticks out at least that much.
