Painted material on roof split face shows up in 3D but not RCP

[Anonymous]

I have a roof defined by mass surfaces where I have split the face to apply a different pattern on a subsurface. This is on the interior face of the roof, so NOT the plane by which the roof was defined. I can paint and see the material in 3D. I can also select the split face boundary in 3D.

In a 2D rcp I can tab select the split face boundary, but I cannot paint a pattern to the split face if it exists, and the painted pattern does not appear even if I created it an saw it in 3D.

Please see attachments.

Any suggestions?

are you sure that you didn't , by mistake , apply Split Face to the face of the Mass Element instead of the the Roof Face?

Hi Constantin.

Yes. The mass element is in a closed workset.

Can you copy paste the roof to a new file and share it here?

Hi ToanDN.

I can. It's posted here. However I discovered when I paste the roof into a separate file, the split area behaves as it is supposed to!

So nothing is wrong with the roof in and of itself.  Is the view set to Wireframe?  Is the roof/roofs category 100% transparent?

Is the roof surface pattern overridden for that RCP view?

It isn't, but it did seem to be something going on with the view. I created a new view and at first got the same behavior. After adjusting the view range I actually got the split face to show up. Could it be possible that roof split faces are affected by the cut plane of an rcp? I've wasted too much time today trying to figure this out,but it was fussy for sure. Thanks for throwing your hats into the ring on this. Not solved, but resolved for now.
