Using siding feature

I want to make a building with white siding. When I choose the siding I want it fills the entire design screen. I would like to use it like the material in the palette --i.e. bring it in and then make it the size I want. At the end of the siding tutorial is says "transfer to the design screen." However, the screen is not clear and I cannot figure out what she is doing. Please help.

How do I use the siding when I design a building?

Sure!
the siding will fill the screen, it is how it is designed. So if you only want say 6" of siding for your building, you would adjust the page margins in File>Page setup. So yes, you will get a bit of extra siding. You can add lines from Paper Tools for cutting guides.

We are experimenting with creating a user customizable palette of bricks as well as siding editable through the brick and siding designers that would expand the capability of these features. Since we do not have it working yet there is not a release time yet.
