RicBrown Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 I am new to Chief Architect and I recently purchased the Home Designer Suite and I am having trouble with the materials list NOT listing the roof shingles. Does Home Designer Suite not do this or do I have to buy an upgrade for that feature to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y-g-m-n Posted November 16 Share Posted November 16 what year software? Shingles are under main library ROOFING and then manufacturers if yo go download from their site (might have to pay unless you have 2026 subscription based.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekPedersen Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 Hello Ric, Thank you for reaching out. Home Designer Suite will calculate roofing materials. Assuming you have an existing roof with roofing material applied (you can see the roof in a 3D view), click on the "Tools" dropdown menu at the top of your screen. On this list go down to "Materials List" and then select "Calculate Materials for All floors" - see screenshot below. The roofing material quantity should display in the Roof category in the materials list. I hope this helps! Derek Chief Architect Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
