Hello there, Topo map provided by surveyor have sea elevation data for sample points in a lot and elevation for sub floor. I can used those elevation data to create a terrain but don't know how to give the topo elevation to sub floor. Terrain is not flat, specify "sub floor height above terrain" in "terrain specification" may not work. Thanks, Josh

Hello, Normally, a roof plan is drawn from baseline, usually the top plate height, to ridge. Is there a way to draw from ridge and to find the baseline height? Actually I'm trying to draw roof plans for this house. The roof slope for main house is 4:12. The porch has 2.5:12 slope. Both roof plans meet at exterior wall. I use exterior wall height as the baseline to draw the roof plan for the main house, and then don't know how to draw a roof plan for porch so that the both roof plans meets on top of exterior wall and have same height. Your advice is very appreciated. Josh

Expect to see no space. Later on when roof framing is on, want to see the rafter. Like the eave in the image.
