Rafters with Rafter Tails For pavillion

I cannot find a way to make solids come into the framing materials list. Maybe a wizard will step up here and show us how.

Just did a test. Made a polyline solid beam, made its material "fir framing," put it on the roof framing layer. It shows up in a 3D-Framing view.

Ran the materials list, and it is not there.

geocoy, I think it was you that sent me an email saying that the library wasn't too helpful because when you strected the symbols, the ends lost the shape. I see that I didn't change the stretch zones in the library I sent. It's just a matter of setting stretch zones. They do work fine with the proper settings. The image posted here shows those symbols that have been stretched 3 times the size of the initial size when placed. BTW, I stretch them in elevations.

I created these custom rafter tails and they look great in 3D and in the elevations, BUT, for some reason they do not appear correctly when you look at them in a plan view (top down). They appear to be lying on their side. I tried playing with the display axis and could not figure out how to get them to appear correctly. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong.
