Trusses are a manual operation and not a one click and done like roof framing. I love trusses and do all my own designs on all projects and work directly with truss engineers on big projects.

Any rumors of when Beta testing it is going to start? I want to test out the horizontal framing,,,,,,,,, that is supposedly a new option.

Or.....  you can use the Create Billboard Image tool.

It saves making a material.

The billboard will display in a rendered view as long as textures are toggle on.

It will display in a vector view with patterns toggled on or off.

where is this tool????? I think it is next to auto isometric tool,,,,,

When a plan is rotated 90 degrees the orientation is sideways or backwards,,,, up arrow moves it to left or right and this varies depending on rotation move. Can this be corrected? No issues just curious.

As a rule leave on auto roofs because it is a nice way of program keeping track that you are doing it correct, if roof looks goofy well find out what you need to adjust for it to auto build. OF COURSE complicated projects you will end up shutting it off.

I use the move roof plane tool and shade the upper. There is a note indicating as such

Joey knows, follow his advice

LMBO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been scolded............and schooled,,,,,,,,,,

changing materials with it messes with everything,,,, but I see I was reading too quickly and this is different issue. I fix many plan files for others and the eye dropper should be a registered weapon with-in Chief. Without proper permit you can not use it,,,, lol

Eye dropper strikes again.

Do you have a plan file? Post it

I opened his plan and fixed. Many issues just helping

If your fascia and ridge heights are not exactly the same as the adjacent plane you will have problems like this.

I just opened your plan, turned on auto roof build and it fixed itself,,,, are you sure you are rebuilding roofs after changes?

You may be able to use an addition framing layer on the outside of your wall definition.

Size and spacing can be defined by the material.

Members can be edited in 3D, plan or in the wall detail.

This is all done auto:

 

 

Love it!!!

post the plan, I have all versions back to X

Thank you! You win the contest that is going on below. I'm not trying to win a contest on this thing, I just wanted the roofs fixed. Mind you I would love to know what you did to fix it, but I know time is money and so not pushing. 

Steve

your fascia were different heights,, only 3/8" of and back roof plane was corrupt so I deleted and made new. It was a very quick repair and you have a nice project. We both Michganders!!!!!

So much easier if you post plan so we can figure it out.

Now no boxed eve
