    Brick & block sizes?

    I want to use a specific size of brick - the South African standard size of 222x106x73mm.
    How can I check the sizes of the bricks in the library, and can I create a custom brick if necessary?

    Hello David, thanks for the reply

    I have Home Designer Architectural 2014. Is it possible with this version?

    Materials are emulated by a pattern file (for vector view cameras) and a texture file (for standard render views) both can be edited as to size and how they repeat across a 3D surface using the adjust material tool (its icon looks like a tri-color). It is fully described in the Reference Manual under "Adjust Material " and "Custom Material", take a look.
