Blender 2.8 material not applied to separ I have created a separate object from vertexes in an object (pressing P ). The object gets created but I can't seem to apply materials onto it.

The selected object ("Facade") doesn't change when different materials are added to it:



It should have a light brown color (same as the base of the building).
I've managed to change the material by selecting faces (Ctrl + L does this more quickly). Click assign after selecting faces and changing material. 

I sometimes manage to create a new object from vetexes and then assign a material to it. Sometimes, I can't. I really have no clue as to why.
