Engrave an offset pattern

I designed a brick wall for use with my HO scale model trains. I used the offset feature to add an additional thin wall surrounding the brick. (basically just a long rectangle) I then used the array tool to build the wall from the single brick. The thin wall is there to represent the mortar lines between the bricks. The idea is to engrave that line deep enough so that thin white paint will settle into the line to represent the mortar.

How do I engrave the thin wall surrounding the brick? When I used the “fill” setting to engrave the thin wall, it just did the lines around the brick itself without filling in the space.

Thanks.

Alan, try searching here in the forum, there has been a very nice thread on the subject with great results and pictures.
