    width of each landing shall be not less than the door served.
    Every landing shall have a dimension of not less than 36
    inches (914 mm) measured in the direction of travel. The
    slope at exterior landings shall not exceed 1/4 unit vertical in
    12 units horizontal (2 percent).
    Exception: Exterior balconies less than 60 square feet (5.6
    m2) and only accessible from a door are permitted to have
    a landing less than 36 inches (914 mm) measured in the

    The clear height of the door opening shall be not less than 78
    inches (1981 mm) in height measured from the top of the
    threshold to the bottom of the stop. Other doors shall not be
    required to comply with these minimum dimensions. Egress
    doors shall be readily openable from inside the dwelling without
    the use of a key or special knowledge or effort.

  3. R311.3.1 Floor elevations at the required egress doors.
    Landings or finished floors at the required egress door
    shall be not more than 11/2 inches (38 mm) lower than the
    top of the threshold.
    Exception: The landing or floor on the exterior side
    shall be not more than 73/4 inches (196 mm) below the
    top of the threshold provided the door does not swing
    over the landing or floor.
    Where exterior landings or floors serving the required

  4. To make this cut perfect you have to do it the same way as you would do crown molding and like Mike said you have to use solids and the piece that will make the cut must be at the right angle as you would set the miter saw to make the cut, which will be the solid piece instead of the miter blade to make a subtraction. You would need to know the spring angle of the crown, roof slope angle,etc 

    It's much easier and faster to do this in SketchUp and you have to place the molding flat with top edge molding as it would lay on the saw against the fence and you have to set the miter angle and saw blade bevel angle that would be one cut and you use the same angles to cut the other piece and join them together and bring them into a the CA and you can use stretch plains to put them together.

     

  5. I have been exporting models in 3DS format into SketchUp to do renderings and you can edit pretty much anything in there, 

    Here is a sample I just dropped a Basement bar in 3DS format, and you can select and edit each item in the model

  6. Don't have much time to play around with this, have to be someplace, but I would make this roof much simpler to frame. Just run one straight gable from one end to another and add gables on the sides right into the main gable.
