There's a couple more settings that I want to cover here because they could have an impact on the way that that you use these methods here and one of them is going to be the wrapping at ends option and so if I were to select my wall here and I say edit type there's two options here there's wrapping at inserts which is going to refer to whether the material wraps around like if you have a deep wall and a window that's recessed or a door that's recessed whether the material is going to wrap around that and so for inserts you get two options or three options you get exterior interior or both I'm going to leave it as is for this exercise but if you wanted your exterior material to say wrap around to create a window jam head and still like a case window around it you could do that or you could do for the interior as well to where material wraps into like a door opening or a framed opening and then the other one is wrapping at ends and this one has some problems here and you'll see in a second so it does say wrapping at ends put it to interior which means these layers here that are on the interior side of the core boundary are going to wrap around at the wall and conditions and so if I hit okay a couple times here you can see that the material here and I must have missed it there when I set that to interior which you can see here as well then it's going to wrap the material at the wall ends and I think we have a problem with this guy here but if I were to draw like another wall let's just put one down here and I'll trim these around just because can't help myself but the same thing and so if we go back through and do the same thing here not sure why it wasn't sticking but I'll say interior and just to force the issue I'll hit apply first and then okay instead of doing apply and okay all at the same time by just hitting okay you can see that we get the wrap around the wall ends but it doesn't respect the fact that we told it to only go up to minus two for the top offset extension and so that's a bit of an issue with this method is if you wanted the tile to kind of wrap around the edge here then you'd have to express it a on your elevation but you still do have like the same the same ability like we've had before to kind of adjust the patterns around like right here you can see it automatically split the pattern and the wall is kind of odd because it's not on a four inch module but essentially you still have the option to customize your pattern based upon the length you just don't get to adjust the extension of it here which to me is kind of a deal breaker if you're trying to show the wall at that point and so it's almost like you're better off not showing it in this case but we do have another option that we're going to look at which really closely mimics what we did um with our other project which is using a thin wall drawn on top of a the base wall um to apply your tile because it just gives you that flexibility and so we're going to take a look at that in this next video here
