Wall types issue using newly created wall type

[Pete_D_PK_NY]

in chief  X15 Problem with editing wall type:

I created a new wall type by editing the default siding-6, I made a copy , edited the copy, and renamed the copy "siding-6, board & batten". I then selected the walls on the first floor plan view 1 by 1 changing them from the default siding-6 to my newly created "siding-6, board & batten" in the rendered view all was well on the first floor. Then I went to the second floor in plan view selected the walls I needed to change on the 2nd floor 1 by 1 changing them from the default siding-6 to my newly created "siding-6, board & batten" but in the rendered view the siding-6 displayed, not the board and batten of the newly created "siding-6, board & batten"

In the wall spec dialog box the preview shows the siding-6 exterior even though the siding-6, board & batten is the selected wall type.

The 1st floor wall types edit fine but when I try to change the wall type on the second floor the rendered view doesn't change.  When I select the wall in the rendered view it shows the wall spec being correct but the rendered view still shows the original wall type

Incidentally, I'm able to toggle back and fourth the wall types on the first floor.........

need to be reset to use default materials. They were probably painted at some point.

 

It does sound like the Paint Can Tool was used at some point........  more info and PDF here.....
