jordanoja Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I built some roof eyebrows over my garage doors on Home designer Suite and want a different roofing material for these steep shed roofs. I cant find any way to specify material for this roof. Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanoja Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 I found the material paint tool, Thanks anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanoja Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Help!!! The paint material tool paints all the roof planes, not just the separate shed roof. Is there a way to identify roofs and paint separately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I tried to do what you said in Suite and in Architectural with no success, I do know that if you had Home Designer Pro and a few additional steps, you would be able to do what you wanted to do, just not in Suite or Architectural or Essentials. I am sorry but often is the case that you only get what you pay for. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Ann Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 With Architectural, you can paint individual roof planes...but ONLY after 'auto build roof' has been turned OFF. I don't know if Suite has this ability, but you should try it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feichiboy Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 It is only the home designer pro that have roof edit option(edit one single roof increase the length change the material and others) home desiger suite don't have that facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution ChiefArchitect Posted March 13, 2015 Solution Share Posted March 13, 2015 Hi jordanoja, Thanks for using Suite. Once the roof is in place, then un-check "Auto Rebuild Roofs" on the "Build>Roof>Build Roof..." menu. Select the Material Painter tool (looks like a spray-paint can) and choose your new roofing material from the library. Then just click on the roof plane to apply the chosen material.
