    Extra roof overhang causing wall to go up.

    in General Q & A

    I have a small inset wall between two walls further out.  The auto roof was trying to keep the same overhang and inserting valleys, etc.  I changed that wall so that the roof overhang would push it out to match up with the other walls.  Yeah, roof builds like I want.  However when looking at a cross section, it's now building up that wall higher.

     

    I don't need it to extend that wall higher.  The trusses will rest on the original wall height, just stick further out.

     

    Is there a setting I'm missing to do what I want?

    Scott -

    Break the railing pony wall at the where it intersects with the wall with the door @ the first floor.  Make this section of wall "roof cuts wall at bottom".  Place a ceiling plane...which should trim the wall. You will probably have to clean up things with a solid here and there.

    Maybe...you don't use a railing wall. Just use a Stucco wall, then insert doorways, no jamb, no casing. You should make adjustments to the doorway rough opening settings...no need to have a framing added 1" or so when you concrete block with stucco.

    Pony Wall Doesn't Display

    in General Q & A

    Posted

    @KristjanM - am I missing something? Seems to work for me. I created a pony. Lower section is 10" concrete wall with a 2x6 wall on the interior. Upper wall is 2x6 and contains a window. I the attached screen clip...I opened the wall, in the "wall types" section I selected from "display in plan view"...lower wall.  The window is showing.  

     

    This display is independent of using "saved plan views"...
