lawrencelam2000 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I've been using HD Pro for quite a while now, but this is a new experience- I'm in the middle of creating permit drawings, and suddenly the exterior siding material I had previously selected totally disappeared from exterior elevations (2D) and rendering views (3d), leaving only the angled, repeated "Chief Architect" logo defaulting in place of the rendered siding material! I've now been toying and monkeying with all the various settings to no avail. My selected siding material refuses to show up (see attached rendering). I even tried creating a new (experimental) file from scratch just to see if the rendering engine is malfunctioning, but the siding material shows up just fine in the new file. What happened / what am I doing wrong? EXTERIOR RENDERING MALFUNCTION.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie65 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I didn't look at the pdf, yet if it's near a manual roof, the roof could be pulled into the wall too far and cut the siding off? If you can just post an image, it'll be easier to see . What you're seeing is the housewrap, which is the layer just behind the siding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawrencelam2000 Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 I'll re-attach the image I'd just attached, which shows exactly what you described in words. The problem is that it's not just one exterior wall, it's ALL the exterior walls, all the way around the house. ALL the siding just disappeared.

lawrencelam2000 Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 Never mind, I just figured it out... I re-created the wall type I want, and gave it a new name. Then I clicked on a malfunctioning wall, changed it to a different wall type, and then changed it again to the new wall type that I just re-created. Somehow by going through the above procedure, the malfunctioning wall type is obliterated by the desired wall type that I just re-created. Then I went through each wall around the perimeter and replaced the properly-functioning wall type for the malfunctioning one. All in all, a strange experience, but I seem to have gotten out of the conundrum. Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
