Gawdzira Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 How do I get the gutter to go to the edge as shown and stay there? I have selected the gutter polyline in plan and dragged it around but it disappears faster than a democratic victory. VIZ_BLD V2.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 It stays for me..... but I might be using a newer version of CA. I did close and reopen and it is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Alan, I can duplicate the disappearing gutter. I believe it is because you have a zero pitch roof and the roof is supplying the gutter. The gutter won't auto build on the "high" side or the roof - even though the roof is flat. Chief won't auto build a gutter on 4 sides of a roof - there is always a "high" side. Whenever you open and close the roof dbx , the gutter auto rebuilds - except for the "high" side of the roof. You need to use a manual molding line for the gutter and in the roof dbx...Options...Supply...uncheck Gutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not doubt this, however, when I reopened his SAVED PLAN THAT WAS ON MY DESK TOP, the gutter WAS missing, I put it back in, closed plan and reopened 4 different times, the gutter was remaining.... I cannot explain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Scott, I put it back in, How did you "put it back in". I also note that the roof baselines are way off from where they should be - but I don't think that is causing the problem. The same gutter behaviour is happening on the other flat roof over Bedroom 1 - only it is the gutter on the top of scree side of the bedroom because the 2 roof have been built in the same direction - ie, low side of roof on bottom of screen.

Glenn, it was a overview, I grabbed the end and pulled it along the fascia. I was not exact, I did it down and dirty. I had thought about your reasoning. ( at least one edge does not get gutter). But for some reason the gutter stayed after opening and closing 4 times. I will try again tomorrow to see if I can get it to fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 Thanks all. I will turn the gutter off and make a molding for this condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard_Morrison Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I opened it again this morning and I still have gutter... weird.... Opening and closing the file is not the issue. Make an adjustment to one of the roofs, or as Glenn suggests, open the Roof DBX and close it. The gutters will rebuild. This has been true for awhile: https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/5778-gutters-keep-reverting-back-to-default/ , or https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/235-gutter-rebuilding/, and this has been reported a NUMBER of times.
