I've noticed that textures on gable ends provided by the roof are upside down.

The same texture on the walls is oriented correct, but I can't find anyway to have the gables show right side up.

Anyone else have this issue?

Yes.

 

Often times if you toggle the texture between "Box" and "Orthographic" under the map type it will fix the problem.  But, admittedly sometimes it persists.

 

As a last measure I will either have the wall extend to the gable, or draw another wall on top and extend it to the gable.  I use Softlist, so typically drawing another wall would be best so I can make sure the extra framing is not figured into my material list.

Yes.  Drives me crazy and frustrates me....  Sometimes if i open "old" drawings i dont have the issue and the shake looks so nice.  But on new drawings the problem happens all the time.  Attached is what the shake looks like on most of my 3-d's.

Has anyone found a solution (or work-around) to this problem?

I just noticed something. I looked at a test project I did in April- the pdf I had made had the shake texture correct, right sidea up- it was an elevation with model paint. But when I opened the project the shake was upside down as I'm currently experiencing.
But when I changed the texture map type from orthography to box, it flipped right side up. There seems to be scale issues, though- the smaller the gable the larger the texture scaled up- orthographic didn't seem to do this.

Paul...you are correct in all you said.  Ready for this to be resolved.

We have made changes to the texture applied to gable ends provided by roof. Please try again in 2018.4.3. 

 

If the issue still exists after updating, please create a ticket.
