Roof Cuts Wall At Bottom Removes Wall?

[HumbleChief]

Never have gotten this 'feature' to really work. It always seems to simply remove the wall, on this plan and many others. Any help appreciated.

Thanks Eric, I have NEVER moved a roof plane 'through' a wall before like you've shown. That will help a lot in the future. BUT the framing is wrong - see video below.

...and if you look closely you will see the framing is wrong when dragging the roof 'through' the wall instead of right to it. I think Chief is behaving badly in this case.

Larry, wouldn't you need a beam in that location anyhow?  ...point being is that however you look at it some manual framing work is required for that condition.  I would love to see if you could get that to properly frame, since I commonly just finish this type of work in 2D.

Yes it would require a beam but I almost never represent that condition in an as built plan for a remodel as I find no need to do so. I was mainly concerned about how to keep the wall from actually disappearing while removing the lower portion. Eric's method solves that minor dilemma.

 

When building the model for a new condition and representing that wall and framing correctly? I don't think it's going to happen in Chief, at least not automatically.
