Hi, I am having an issue with the first floor walls going to the second floor roof overhang. Even when I create a roof over the room the walls still go up to the second floor roof overhang. How do I prevent this from happening? Thank you Screenshot 2024-09-17 at 12.28.02 PM.pdf

Thank you for your reply. it is one story (with daylight basement). 9' plate. the blue highlighted areas I would like to be 12' plate. 3 Car garage in the blue area will remain at a 9' plate. let me know if you need more info.

Hi, I am trying to add Shed roof (1:12 pitch) in 3 different location, with a height 3 ft higher than the rest of the main floor height. butterfly roof over the garage area and a flat with with a 12 inch parapet in the middle of the home. I have tried everything I can think of to complete this task successfully but have failed. Would anyone like to try to help me figure this one out. I provided a pdf of what I am trying to accomplish. I am using CA 16. Mac Studio - Apple M1 Max, 32 GB - macOS Sonoma CA RR Design ROOF CHALLENGE.pdf

Thank you for the video

thank you guys. I also wonder the same thing. I thought it would be easy enough until I actually wanted to add the area sqft. This is something essential in providing clients

Yes that’s perfect. What is a PM?

Hi, I would like to provide a schedule of sqft. I have been able to provide a schedule with each room sqft. but what I am looking to produce is a schedule with each floor living space and then the subtotal of sqft. How can I make this happen?

Done, thanks for the tip

Thank you for your response. I will check that. I did continue to troubleshoot and when I labeled the rooms it generated those wall to go up to the bottom of the roof.

Hi, I have created a shed roof. but the walls do not reach the under side of roof. can anyone help trouble shoot this issue? thank you

Thank you for the response. So if I change the line weight other than 1 it will show wall hatching?

Hi, I am wondering how to get my wall hatch to show when I pdf the plan set? It shows on the drawing but after plotting pdf, it does not show. Thank you

DzinEye Thank you for the comment. Interesting, I didn't think about that for a curved roof. Personally I don't like them. But I am going through one of CA online training tutorials to learn the program. I am seeing what areas I need to work on and what new things I can learn.

Thank you everybody. It was the small roof plan that is circled in red that automatically continued pass that front wall. I was going to cute/paste after I re-build the roof but i was just able to delete the extra roof and that solved the problem.

Okay, I will try them both to see if one or both work. But I will continue in the morning. Got to get up early. I will keep you updated. Thank you

Yes, I redrew the wall 1' off of the original wall and went through the same steps and it did the same thing.

I meant wall framing. formation was the wall was at first as it should be arched as it sloped under the curved roof. And when I went to build roof it became a different shape.

Hi, I have done some manual changes to the roof. And I want to add a porch roof to the entry. When I choose to build roof and retain my manual changes, it then changes my attic wall over the garage by lowering the top of wall and changing its formation. I have attached before and after pics (PNG & PDF) and the CA file in X12. Please let me know if you have any question that may help you help me. Thank you Attic wall changes with build roof command_4.22.20.pdf Project 2.plan

Got it. Thank you

It worked. Why having "auto rebuild roof" on worked? What if I was in a situation where I did do some manual roof modifications and ran into this problem? Sorry to asked so many questions, I just really want to learn CA and apply it to all my projects. Thank you

Hi, I aligned both deck walls to the room wall and the roof went crazy. I checked my walls and the properties seem to be good. Would you know what happened? Roof Issue X12 - 2.plan

Awesome, I will try it now. Its always the simple things. Thank you
