Lighthouse Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Hi, When I generate a roof frame, the rafters appear as a white material, even though my rafter default is set to fir framing. I can't seem to globally select them to change them to fir, the material painter just does one at a time. There are hundreds.... How do I globally select and change material? I tried locking all layers but rafters and selecting them all, but I didn't have the option to change material. thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 If you do not have a soffit, the rafters assume the color of your fascia. Put a soffit at your eaves and I would bet your rafters will be a fir framing material. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 I got excited too soon. Actually, soffits were checked :-(. I tried it with checked and unchecked, rebuilding each time, didn't change anything. Oddly, a few of the roofs on the house do appear as wood, even though they seem to have identical settings to the roofs that appear white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_martin Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Are any of the rafters designed to be exposed rafter tails? Just because you have soffitt checked doesn't mean its there. What are your settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamestunnell Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I ran into the same problem after messing with a number or roof settings, so I couldn't figure out which one was the culprit.

This was correct, about the rafters being colored like the fascia. But the problem was not the soffit. I had removed the gable and eave fascia. Make sure those options are checked in the roof structure options. That fixed it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
