Solver, Roof mainly, If you see other things just mention them. I don't want to take up a lot of your time. I will go and try to figure other things out. I just hit a brick wall while working on the roof system. Thanks CharlesVols, Ok, do you have any suggestions on videos for baselines and roofs?

Solver, The part with window,doors and gable. It's a 24'x24' addition. I have tried changing pitch, ridge height and fascia height when putting roof together, but I only can change to values at one time. This is were I run into alignment issues. I seen post were to small just haven't tackled that issue yet. I like the way your roof line turned out. Should I erase all roof planes and start over? Where there any settings I changed you saw that did or didn't help the drawing? Thanks for feedback. CharlesVols, Does changing baseline fix this issue? I'm guessing I can change values for ridge, baseline, fascia and pitch before roof is built. This fix height issue? Thanks for feedback.

This is my first addition drawing that I have done. I have spent a lot of time watching videos and reading, but I have hit a few road blocks with software that's not easy to figure out or find answers for. And I think I picked one of the most complex roof lines to join together.. I'm looking for someone to look over my drawing to critique it and help with a few issues. Siding, rafters (floating) and roof connection issues. Thanks for any help! GW_addition.plan

I'm trying to figure out how to adjust lumber length in plan so that it will show right in the materials list. Example: I build a 30' wall with no doorways. In materials list is shows that the fir plate is 40' and that I need 1 piece. In reality common plate length is 16' lumber with either a double stud at location or split between one stud. How can I build my model to reflect outcome of lumber length in materials list. Or adjust a setting I'm missing. Thanks
