Roof trimmed in Floor Plan

Help! Working in V12 for the first time, I imported this drawing from V10, and when I did, the roof elements are all trimmed in the Floor Plan window. I tried adjusting the Story Settings (yes, I can make this worse by decreasing the height to next story, but cannot make it go away by INCREASING--there is no next story), by adjusting the Projection settings, everything. It is as if there is a slab, or ceiling ABOVE the roof that is trimming it in plan view.

Any ideas?

Have you tried changing the "Floor Plan Display" (to "Outlines Only" or "Overhead All")?

Guys--

my bad. I didn't mean TEXTURE, I meant hatch. I have attached a screen shot.

Was working in a program, doing some graphic art stuff, and it refers to hatches as textures. Sorry!

The screen shot is preliminary--just trying to get something out to start the pricing exercise. See--the hatch (shingles) is/are not showing up on the roof. All other views it is fine--plan, 3D, etc..
