Two exterior finish services with geometry. Stone is a band around the building at the wainscot height (or a 3ft default), measured as perimeter times height minus whatever openings punch through it. Board-and-batten is vertical battens on the wall steel at 16in on centre, measured as wall area.
Also called: Versetta stone · stone veneer · cultured stone · board and batten · exterior upgrade
- 1The stone band inherits the wainscot height when wainscot is enabled, so the two finishes agree.
- 2Openings overlapping the band are subtracted from the measured area.
- 3Battens are drawn as real strips on the skin at their real spacing and width.
- 4Both are unique per building and toggled from the services panel or the right-click menu with their priced quantity shown.
Stone wainscot and board-and-batten are the two finish upgrades that most change how a building photographs and the two hardest to price by eye. Both are measured off the drawn wall net of its openings — a front wall that is mostly overhead door carries far less stone than its perimeter suggests, which is exactly the kind of overestimate that gets quoted and never caught.
- Finish upgrades priced off gross wall area instead of the area actually covered.
