Roofing Material Doesn't Populate In Materials List

[pshelander]

I have been using Chief for many years, but I'm feeling pretty stupid right now. Why won't the shingles that are one of the materials on my roofs show up in the material list? The ridge cap and gutters are listed in linear length. But the actual roofing material is not calculated. My husband is a home builder, and I thought the roofing was listed in the materials list in previous versions of Chief. I'm sure there is a simple answer, but I have spent hours searching "help" and ChiefTalk, and still haven't found the solution. 

 

Thanks,

Pam

Can you share your plan

Could be a lot of things.  Maybe your roof finish layers got messed up somehow.  Maybe your material list layer set has things turned off that shouldn't be.  If you want something better than  guess, you should probably post your plan.

Make sure in what ever layer you are using you have roof layers turned on.
