How do I raise the eave sheet.

 

I thought this happened automatically. When I reduce the roof overhang from 600 to 550 the eave sheet is staying at the same level. How do I raise the eave sheet or set it automatically to adjust relevative to the overhang.

Attach the plan.....  but the quick answer is the soffit elevation is a function of the SUBFASCIA.  

 

If you post a plan,  I bet you will get more answers.  You have been around awhile,  you know to post the plan for the best answers.

Rob,

Try:

Build... Roof...Edit All Roof Planes...Structure panel...Roof Size...reduce the size of the Eave Sub Fascia.

 

If you build the roof framing and display the Framing, Roof Rafters layer in a section view, you will see the sub fascia and how it effects the eaves height.
