Hi jnordby, so welcome to this world. Ok, I'll try to explain the easiest way to do this, for you:

1-Create your roof and duplicate it with the name you want (i.e. Palapa roof).

2-Go to Settings then Materials...and duplicate the "Default Roof" material and give it the name you want (i.e. "Palapa Roof" ) .

3-Go to Render Appearance in Generic Material Properties then in Color choose Image file.

4-Search the path where you have the image downloaded from the link I gave you before (in this case i didn't use a bump image).

5-Give the image the scale and the brightness you like more and then click OK.

6-Select your Palapa roof and go to Element Properties button and then click Edit/new... button

7-In the Structure Parameters click Edit... then in Materials select the material you previously created and click OK to all

8-Render

 

Hope it helps you.... (This is in case you have Revit Architecture 2009)
