I have a building with four basic Generic Walls. It has a simple footprint
roof. I selected all of the exterior Walls, did Edit/New > Duplicate. I
edited the structure of the new Wall Type. I changed it from the generic
material to a CMU + Air + Brick configuration. When I try to OK this, I get
the dreaded "No can do" dialog. the exact message is "Can't make footprint
roof" and the only option is "Cancel."
OK, so I cancel and I loose all the edits i made to my custom Wall Type.
Now, I assume that the Roof is attached to the Walls (or vice/versa), but
this is particularly frustrating since I end up loosing all of the work I
did on the Wall type. So, the question is, how do I find out what I need to
do to overcome this? The error gives no details and just says basically
"sorry pal, out of luck." Do I need to detach the roof? Something else? Any
help appreciated.
Thanks.
