AlvarD Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I can't seem to get the roof default materials to apply to roofs in my plan. Attached are the plan and two pics showing what I have the roof default materials set to, and what the materials that actually get built, from one of the roof planes. I have deleted all the roofs and re-built them with auto-roofs, and they still keep the materials from the "fasci_prob_roof_mat.jpg" file, rather than the default roof materials from "fasci_prob_roof_def_mat.jpg" file. What am I missing? Thanks in advance, Alvar fascia_prob_plan.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 There are the "Materials" settings on the "Build Roof" Dialog - "Materials" tab, and there is in "Edit - Default Settings - Materials - Roof", both of these settings must be in agreement for you to get what you want, see to it.

solver Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Please make it easy on us and say one part of the roof that is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe these are the same -- that is 2 ways to access the same roof defaults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlvarD Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 The Materials settings are in agreement between both the "Build Roof" Dialog - "Materials" tab" (attached pic), and the "Edit - Default Settings - Materials - Roof", which is what I first posted and has the "Roof Defaults" in the upper left. As far as which part of the roof is wrong, for example the fascia, which is showing as "Beige Ribbed Metal" instead of the default which I current show as "Default: Log End". Yes, I know Log End is crazy but I tried a lot of different ones and I just wanted to see if anything different than the "Beige Ribbed Metal" would take.

solver Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 My guess is that you painted a color/material onto parts of the roof, like the fascia. Once this is done, it seems to override the defaults, and I don't know how to tell the program to use the defaults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlvarD Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 Indeed at one time I had painted onto parts of the roof like the fascia, and I was hoping that the program would be able to override that with new materials from the roof defaults when I deleted all the roof planes and rebuilt them, but apparently not.

LawB10 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 It seems like the software can't find where that material is located. There are other things that needs to be looked at, the outdoor shower is not connect to the house, connect it and set the room type to Slab and room name to outdoor shower, does the ceiling height have to be 13'? There's no foundation? and the first floor is just a garage and alot of empty space, is that the design of the house? By the pool there's a open space, if somebody were to fall it's gonna hurt, delete the invisible wall and drag the rail to complete the deck. For the Pool, draw a wall so that it appears, and the deck surrounds it. I turned auto rebuild roof on and nothing changed, except the extension went away. That means you built the house correctly.

AlvarD Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 The current plan is still in development, so things like the outdoor shower aren't finished. It's just something the homeowner wanted me to show in the plan, but we aren't sure where it will end up going yet. This is a beach house which will be built on pilings, so the ground floor isn't habitable as it's in a flood zone. It doesn't even have to be enclosed, but we will just for looks. The pool will be an infinity-edge pool, which is why there's one side with no railing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawB10 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Got it, but still I don't think it will be built that way, you have the Pro version of the software which can build the house to how it will look. Take a relook at the pics that were uploaded, you have two different default settings. Is this how the pool will look? If so, make the pool a standalone, rename to slab and drop the floor to how deep you the want the pool to be. Use a box shape and make it the size of the pool and raise the height to where you want it and add the water material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
