Thanks guys, yes @mtldesignsframing is always built by the time i do story poles. I hear ya @tundra_dweller, I can do it manually but I also like to figure out issues so it is just one push of a button to dimension my elevations. I mean, in reality all I have been doing is gripping the highest header line and deleting it but it just seems like I am working against CA that way. I will try to pm the link @robdyck

Been having this happen a lot lately. Does anyone know why it is labeling two header heights.

When I did it your way, nothing changed soffit wise so I had to outsmart it. Nonetheless, I looks great now. Yes sir, Daphne. We didn't get s single drop of rain from Helene suprisingly.

You were right, I deleted that "5 1/2" purlins" under the surface dbx and made the structure 5 1/2" purlins. It brought the roof down 5 1/2" so I then I used the transform/replicate object and moved in up 5 1/2" in the z direction and boom, it's perfect. May not be the proper way or best way but it worked and I can move on.

This is where I was thinking the mistake was but haven't investigated yet! I know it has to be a simple fix.

That is what I am saying. Subfascia is 2x6, see below in red, and I have the eave sub fascia turned off. Regular fascia is 2x8 directly below what I circled. That is way more than 1 3.4" gap too. This is why I am puzzled.

It is....the actual fascia, eave and gable, is 2x8. Is that what you mean?

Hey guys, I am doing another pole barn style home (even though I was gonna quit doing them, this may be my last). 2x6 purlins on scissor trusses. How can I raise my soffits? Pics below to explain.....

Yep. Added a pretty cool rafter tail to em.

That's a good idea, thanks.

Is there a way to remove the structure from a balcony like pictured below to expose the floor structure? I know you can do it in the framing plans but the actual hardie board closure material is what needs to be gone. The balcony was built with railing walls. internet mine

Dude, that worked awesome. Learned something new.

I tried that but a warning came up that I would lose it. I didn't move forward with the command after that. Thanks DB!

Hey guys, I wasn't paying attention to the level I was on when I cut the cross section. After spending much time labeling the materials I realized I was on level 2 and not 1. Now when I uncheck "display on all floors" the section cut arrows are not on level 1 where I need it. Any way to move it down without losing work?

Got any vids or links to vids on this?
