Roof Face Attributes

[CS1]

Why is it if you create a roof face, and class the roof, it wont take on the class fill and line types as specified by the class until the embeded object (say a rectangle) has the same class?

Discrition

In top/plan view

Roof Face created from rectangle

Roof Face in class: "roof"

"roof" class set to grey fill and blue outline

Roof Looks White with Black outline

Double click on roof face

Get rectangle in "none" class and put in "roof" class

Exit, looks fine.

Your rectangle seems to have been created while None was the active class.

Did you change that to Roof prior to the Create Roof Face command ?

If so, I too get a Roof Face object in the Roof class, without the attributes.

My MO is to keep the None class active. After the roof face is created, I throw it into the Roof class (OIP) : the preset class attributes will now show and the embedded rectangle automatically goes into the Roof class as well.

Hope I've made myself clear enough.

Thanks Gerrit, I understand what you mean.

I always have my active class set to "none" and after I have created an object I send it to its respective class, but this didnt seem to change the class of the rectangle within the roof space as suggested. I know with say "groups" if you send the group to a class the embedded objects change with it.
