More of the Same
Just ran into another problem. I not sure is it me or chief. Pony wall - top clapboards, bottom concrete. Wall dialog shows pony with the correct materials. Rendering shows clapboards top and bottom.

Is this wall a foundation wall?
Sometimes Chief has problems with them.
As for selecting the siding top pull it up, if you take a cross section view and right click on the wall, the first thing (default) selected is the room. Hit the tab key and you should see the wall, itself, with drag buttons. Then you can raise the siding face. (You may know this, but not seeing what you're doing, I can't tell what you know/don't know.)

It sounds like you used the material painter on the pony walls.
Watch this video, it explains how this works and how to handle the situation with a pony wall.

Oh yea, if that doesn't work, be sure you didn't assign a texture to the interior or exterior of the room. If so, put it back to the default.Tommy Blair

Watching the video explains how it works so you can get the result you want. If you think you know how it works from experience with previous versions you should still watch the video becasue it really explains the new functionality.Dan Park,
