mikes616 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Is there an easy way to prevent overframed roofs from cutting into existing roof planes? I have this condition often when doing an addition and I would think there was an easy way to do this. Any suggestions? Thanks. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 You can use a truss base and it will overbuild even if you have no trusses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RL-inc Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Generally I just pull the base of the main roof plane back to the bearing wall line from the intersection with the overframe. Then bring the overframe onto the main body. This allows the main body to stay continuous while the overframe lays on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Brian ,I just tried to use the truss base and it doesn't work anymore, with conv. framing. Don't know when this got changed. I pretty much manually build my roofs like Rob described above, so didn't notice. Sorry about that and thought you wanted this to work with auto roofs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian-sdesign Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Roger that. I'm also doing manual roofs 100% of the time now. Finally got the hang of it but I'm always interested in new methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
