what do you want the roof to look like? Normally I will raise the roof or alter the existing roof to go over another part of a building

I've had that problem many times and thought it was just me. If you do find out what it was with the wall intersection tool, please post the solution, thanks

not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but you can set the eave width on the wall if you do not want it to protrude beyond the wall

Managed projects has multiple ways to be used based on your desired workflow. Common Documents seems to be for warehouse type template plans

I'm not sure what the purpose of the wall in the middle of the stairs is? If you delete it, it works as long as you set the attic wall to "roof cuts wall at bottom"

lower the roof planes using the transform replicate tool, or make the eave width larger

as well, if this is existing house, to be accurate you would need to know the heel height or difference in top plate to bottom of fascia If rafters, the birdsmouth depth is not certain l Below you have is that as measured from the top of subfloor on site? Typically to know for sure, one would have to go into the attic, or open up the soffit or do some math on relative heights (such as measure from top of window to eave, then measure from ceiling to top of window inside)

one side of your gable has 12" overhang while the other has 18"...not sure if that is intentional

your roof pitches are 8:12 and 3:12 when auto built: the bottom wall has it as 8:12

It still shows correct top plate. after the rebuild of the roofs, the proper way to eliminate roofs is to use the roof intersect tool. the one I modified is too big to attach, but deletde all roofs but the main tw0 over the breezeway and then, modify those 2 to meet the garage

where do you see that? I do not

Is this more what you are looking ofr 05.05.2025_13.31.15_REC.mp4

it looks like a gable above the entry would be more feasible, as It does not look like you have enough room horizontally for a dormer with more than tiny walls

I think it you detach perpendicular deck walls from the house and run a parallel deck wall to the house about a foot away, and then move it to be next to the brick and then make it invisible, it seems to work:

see attached with 2 sections, both with same elevations for top plates, then I raise the roofs on the right structure and rebuild the framing. You can see the top plate stays the same I must be missing something, you probably want to post the plan 04.05.2025_21.17.00_REC.mp4

i use it all the time because the CA truss heel height can only be set per plan, and not per roof plane

when you build the roofs are you setting the same height eaves checkbox? You could also just raise the roof planes using the transform replicate button, in the Z direction As a note, the fascia heights will be different elevations if the roof pitches are different and eave width are the same, and you do not set same height eaves. Alternatively to raising the roof, you could also change the width of the eave unitl you got the facia elevations to match...but that might not be desirable

decks here are attached to the rim board via a ledger board. ..I havent tried it but did you try running a deck railing along the house, parallel to the house wall? CA does not like walls really close together, so not sure how close you could get it

when you print to PDF choose 11x`17 and change the print options to not be "to scale"

just start typing at the bottom of the page where it says "reply to this topic"

you can also highlight what you want to quote and wait half a second and a little bubble should pop up "quote selection

you probably need to post the plan

above previous thread has some statistics also depends on X16 vs X15( or earlier) for number of samples

is this on a laptop? If so, the laptop will typically constrain the GPU when on battery. What version of CA are you using?

its 5 clicks to get something decent for interior , background intensity, sunlight intensity, exposure, brightness....and make sure to add some lights
