Vali Architects Instant Cladding Extension for SketchUp

Vali Architect Instant Cladding changes flat 2d surface into 3d geometry to represent several different cladding options: siding, stone and brick. In this video tutorial I show you how to create board and batten siding in SketchUp. This 3D siding produces a more convincing look for siding materials with depth by providing real shadows.
