Issues with gable roof siding showing

[draftlab]

no matter what I've tried, this gable roof will not show the siding. It remains see through and I was wondering if anyone had any potential solutions for this problem, I'm very new to this and don't have much experience.

Here are a few things to try;

- check to see if your roof plane is out past the edge of the wall, attic walls won't generate if there isn't an attic

- make sure in defaults -> wall -> general  that auto rebuild attic wall is toggled on.

- check to see if your window wall is toggled on as a gable wall

- it looks like your 2nd floor attic wall is generated and visible, maybe check to see in plan view if there is a small attic wall already made, it just may be on a layer that is not visible in this 3D view layer set (check the actual wall specification layers in the display column to see what layer the siding is actually on)

- If there is a wall, check to see that it is not toggled as invisible, or has an exterior layer that is 'no material'

 

If these don't solve your problem, probably posting your plan will yield a solution.

I agree with Gene's comments.  About your problem, is the layer attic wall turned on?

 

It would also be helpful for you to post the plan file.
