thanks, I will re-post in the proper forum !  

 (I already had the color I want selected in default settings, materials, exterior walls.  However, when I go to default settings, walls, exterior wall, it does not allow any material choice, just "siding '6" as an example.)  

Hello, I am running HD Suite 2016.   I started my first plan and the exterior walls were all the default tan siding.  I have changed the default settings, materials, walls (exterior) to red siding (which I want.).    I then also selected all the exterior walls of my plan (by selecting just outside of the roofline), open object, exterior room, exterior walls, edit material - I choose red.    The siding then all changes to the desired red while I continue to work with the file.  All is good until I save the plan and exit.  Then when I re open it, it is back to tan.   Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong !  thanks....
