Hi Justin, That's controlled by the "eave Sub Fascia" dimension in the structure panel of the build roof dialogue box. Make it the same as the depth of the rafter and it should work. You may have to click it "on" first, then, when you get what you want, you can click the sub fascia "off" again.

Excellent work, you guys! Thanks for the tips.

Agreed. There used to be better versions of all the metal roof mats. Increasing the width to a realistic profile helps a little bit, but not much.

I don't want to confuse things but if you look at the layer control box that you posted, you will see "Roofs, Baseline Polylines", which is still checked. If you uncheck that layer display, the 12 in 12 labels and the baseline polylines will all disappear.

Thank you so much. Sorry about the font difficulty. It seems like something that CA could fix easily, so I suppose we just have to hope for the best. In the meantime, I'm glad to hear, thanks to your bravery, that your iMac didn't blow up when you opened CA. When I upgraded to High Sierra, way back, I had severe problems with mouse behavior and sluggishness that mad it nearly unusable. Fortunately, they fixed it with the next CA update. I feel much more at ease upgrading to Mojave now. I really appreciate that you have taken the time to respond to me with such great and thorough info. Thanks again!! Don

Hi LevisL, I would be very much interested in hearing your opinion about MacOS Mojave in general and X10 within it in particular. I've held off upgrading to Mojave in fear of what might happen to CA as a result.

I have only recently discovered that I have the same "bug". But your workaround is definitely the fix. Thank you!!! It may be a setting I messed up, but I sure can't figure out what it might be.

Michael, Great tip! I've been pulling my hair out over this problem. Thanks!

I've experienced the same thing with most recent update. In my case I had a layout file with a perspective full overview with "Physically Based" render technique that worked fine until the update. Now it's a blank layout box. I've duplicated my situation in this image.

I stand corrected. We have a "Rotate Plan View tool" feature. I'm glad it works, out of the box, the way you, and others, like and expect it to.

A word to the wise: the rotate plan feature is not only counter-intuitive, it produces an entire Pandora's box of problems with text display, that will make you crazy. If you have to add an addition, start from scratch. Buggy and buggy! Please fix.

Just updated to Sierra on late 2015 iMac and CA 8 has slowed to an absolute crawl. I would caution anyone with a similar machine and in the middle of an important workflow to think twice about Sierra at this point. Everything was fine until Sierra, which is not playing nice with CA8 Prem.

In regard to the original post, none of the problems attendant to the control of rim joists that D. Scott Hall pointed out has been fixed (Chief X-7). Yes, we can work around it, but wouldn't it be nice if we didn't have to?
