Clemsongrad Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I've built a 100' x 76' metal building. I put a front "porch" on with with lower roofs and a heavy timber truss with columns and pilasters. I need to create two wrap around porch/slabs with railing and roofs overhead. Every time I try, the wall coverings change and weird things happen. So I built the wrqp around porches away from the building and then moved them in place. The same things happen. Very confused.

Chopsaw Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Larry, that may be the same problem that Jimmy was having yesterday check this out : https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/11281-auto-ext-dims-not-work-on-wraparound-deck/Also try pulling the roof plane away from the building as it may have cut into the siding.

GeneDavis Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 After seeing what happens when you pull the roof edges away from the walls, edit them back exactly to the outermost surface, which is the outside face of your siding layer. Not how you build a roof for real, but it is what you need to do in Chief with roofs abutting walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
