Roof Defaults for Materials and  Reflections

 

 

This note explains how to set material defaults for roofs - those materials which automatically are applied whenever you draw them.

 

To make your own default materials for roofs do this:

 

  1. Apply the same or different materials to roof tops, bottoms (also ceilings) and edge.
     

  2. Apply colors and set reflections by right-clicking surfaces and choosing properties.
     

  3. Right-click roof and choose "Make Default" from the pop-up menu.

 

All subsequent roofs you draw will have those materials applied to them as the default - even after you close plan3D and reopen it.

 

To set plan3D back to its original materials click the Restore Defaults button or uninstall and reinstall plan3D.
