Is there a way to change Soft plans Log A  surface color to a different color from Material, Wood and making a selection from the many horizontal shades/colors?

When i do this i lose my log A pattern

 

When i try using Log B and Log C form the wall library they do not have the same pattern as Log A, How do i make B and C match style A

The quickest way....
Right click on the gable bracket you have shown.
Select “copy surface”
Then right click on your log wall and “paste surface”

See how that works out, since the color of the gable bracket is close to the color you are looking for.

Did you by chance make your own Log Wall Definition? If you did you need to add a profile to your wall definition or Edit Change Wall and use a SoftPlan Log Wall.  I did what Jason suggested.
