Exterior wall materials don't change, roof issues.

[fiedler]

New user of Home Designer Architectural 2015. Designing a simple shed.

1. I define wall exterior materials for each wall.

2. I go to a 3D view

3. Some walls don't change and stay with a previous selection.

I select the wall and make sure the exterior siding matches what I selected and it is OK, but one or more 3D view walls revert back to a previously selected color.

What am I doing wrong?

 

I want to create a simple open gable roof, but the program won't let me and keeps creating a hip roof.

I finally got it to create a gable roof, but then I made a wall height change to 8 ft, and now I have a jerkenhead roof I can't change

If I select a roof style, it takes me to a help function instead of creating the roof style I selected. What's up with that?

its hard to visualize what your saying without viewing the plan.  Please post a copy of your plan for review so someone can see if they can mimic what your viewing.

uncheck  upper pitch, that will give you a full gable wall.

 

If you want different materials for each wall, simply choose the material and apply, using the material painter tool.
