Maye I'm getting it now. Let's see Changing the baseline height means the same as saying "add height to or subtract height from the original wall", thus heightening or lowering the roof plane. That seems to be the effect. So to get the same effect on a wall you can either increase the baseline height OR simply move the plane further from the wall.

Tommy, can you give me a call when you get a chance? Thanks

Of what value is the baseline indicator? It is just you can make sure that if the roof plane gets accidentally moved in plan view, you can set it back?

So the wall height depends on how far away from the top of the wall, the baseline is?

So then you're saying that 'identical' roof planes can have 'different' height walls under them? I would think the plane on the left has increased in the z axis, otherwise what prompted the wall beneath it get taller. see image.

Also, why should I care where the baseline origin sits? I can tell if the overhang to little or too much with a simple dimension. I do care about heights that I cannot see in the plan.

Thanks. I will add my specs. You may be missing my point. Look at the height of both planes. One makes the walk taller, one dies not. Can you please explain why the heights are exactly the same (see image)?

I am trying to comprehend the (precise) meaning of the variables in a roof plane. In this CA file you find two roof planes (at obviously differing heights) but still giving exactly the same heights info. Questions: 1. Is this a glitch? 2. What is the line with a perpendicular line stick out of it. I always thought it was the baseline but if so then two differing baselines have the same exact height. Thanks! question for forum.plan

Thank you. How can one tell which plane belongs to a baseline if the baseline has the ability to move away from its plane. Not sure how that baseline moved from the edge of the wall? Highlighting the baseline does not highlight the plane.

Trying my hand at 100% manually built roof. Problem: all planes were created on a wall that is the same height all the way around but one section has extra height added somehow. All have 9' ceiling height. Thank you INDIANA6 outside test no upper 2forum.plan

Thanks eveyone!

Searched the forum and YouTube. Apparently this is not a much needed video.

But then you to pull the side walls up and that seems very fudgy. Am i wrong?

By the way. How can I add three shed roofs automatically while not... a. modifying my manual roofs b. not adding an entirely new roof under my manual roof I used the two "retain" switches but I still got a new roof. Does that mean if I want to auto add three shed roofs, I must remove all my manual roofs, rebuild to create the shed roofs,then delete the auto roofs (not the shed roofs) and recreate all the manual roofs?

Thanks!

Sorry for not being clear. I have circled the artifacts in red.

Can some of you CA savants show me why I get these protrusions? Thanks INDIANA2.plan INDIANA2.plan

Dunka!

This layout is so simple, I fail to see where there could be issues causing siding to be missing on the first floor. Could someone please help? Thanks! INDIAN.plan

Will do! Thanks.

Hi Drawzilla, I am not sure. Do you think turning turning auto framing on would help prevent what happens in the above image? Thx

I am not sure what causes these long extended anomalies. I can't seem to reproduce them by putting the roof plane near the wall and changing the angle say from 180 to 179.032 for instance. If I can't reproduce it then I probably don't know why it happens. Does anyone know how reproduce these?

Hmm. I wonder why your model doesn’t have those anomalies. Is it because the angle of the roof plane and the angle of the wall are sufficiently separated even though not the same?

Thank you. I get it now. If the wall angle is different than the roof angle you get those anomalies. Thanks!

I apologize but I'm not advanced to understand your comment. Would you be able to make a quick rectangular house plan showing this? To me gable means that the wall fills under the roof vertically to a ridge line point. "The roof edge on the gable"? I believe the gable wall went all the way up to the roof (Chief does that)...not the roof edge because of the overhang which goes a certain distance past the gable wall. Thank you!
