lost material finish

[hrholden]

I am unable to locate a material finish.

while increasing  the wall height from 2400 to 2700 on my house plans i deleted the roof, when i redid the roof I am unable to find the corrugated finish in the roof appearance dialog box.

I have the corrugated roof still on my car shed and skillions on the plan.

Is there a search function? or some way to locate it

bought the program in 2012    turbo floor plan home and landscape pro Australian version

in addition to the above when i replace the roof it defaults to the original 2400 height and the walls protrude the roof surface, if i go into the roof dialog box and change the support details to match the wall height the walls still protrude the roof surface

Hi Phil,

You will find the corrugated materials in the materials list as Corrugated Panelling (not under roofing as you might think). There is a search but it is not foolproof unless you know the exact name of the material.

You can also pinch the material from your other roof using the Edit / Paintbrush function. Use the 'Dropper' to select the  material you want and the the Paintbrush to apply it to your new roof.

The position of the roof and wall height is controlled by the Building Location settings. The wall's height should be set to Auto Extend and it will automatically go up to the roof. The roof will sit at the height set for the walls. In settings / Building Locations set the wall height to 2700. When you insert the roof again it will be at this level and the walls will extend to it.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks Allan,
In my version it is in the materials folder  Metal - Stramit 2005  called Corrugated - Pale Eucalypt

and for some reason the folder was not showing in the materials list but appeared when I used the Edit/ paintbrush and dropper
It seems a lot of the Australian content is missing, will try to find the disc and reload and see what that does

Thanks again Phil

Hi Phil,

If you would prefer to have the Colourbond sheeting in Roofing folder, you can add them in, as all the Colourbond colours are in the Textures folder on your PC. Go into Roofing, right click and select Add Material and Browse through the Textures to Corrugated.....
