Thanks for the great tips

Auto Built Roofs as Normal

Used the Build All Framing option

Pulled down the main roof plane to create a full roof on the underside of the Gable and Manually framed that 

Then Selected both gable planes opened them up and went to structure. Then Checked the Roof Over Frame option, selected Sheathing, Changed Shoe Size to 9.25.

Manually reframed and presto the over frame dropped in.

Still have to make a few adjustments but here is how it looks.........

Thanks for the time everyone put into the post

I’m going to experiment with some of the ideas

I have been doing it manually for a few years with poly solids 

I was excited to see that x14 had the auto Over Frame  feature and it looked great in the tutorial

As usual it seems like it may only work under certain conditions

I experimented quite while last night with not much success but your ideas have spurred some thoughts

If I figure out the automatic formula I will update the post

Thanks Again 

The information in this video does not work

Hi Ryan

Thanks for replying

Not sure what you mean there

Are you asking me to give you a framing group number

Where could I get that?

I cant seem to make the new chief premier x14 roof over frame feature work properly

I created a simple rectangular building with a 4 sided hip roof

The roof is on auto build

Then I created a small room on the front with a gable roof

The roof built and intersected smoothly

Then I selected the 2 gable roof planes and made the 2 changes under the structure window

Selected "Roof Overframe and build to sheathing which required me to disable auto rebuild roof

Made the plate on the roof 9.25"

Built the framing and it did not generated the over frame

It still build the old style framing.

I attached the plan below

Any Ideas?

Thanks that worked

Not sure why but thanks for the fix

Just wondering if anyone knows how to keep a split wall from reverting back when a change is made

An Example:

I am splitting a deck railing so that one half has balusters and the other half is open

I split the railing then select one half and change it to open.

When I enter the change the entire railing becomes open and the split is gone.

This could be an easy fix, just struggling to find it.
