MTL-Homes Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Trying to figure out how to make the fascia match up in 3D on a gable end when the roof pitch changes. see attached drawing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 No attached drawing..... but I do not think this is rocket science...... do you think if you have the same overhang yet a different pitch they will line up? Think about it..... come on Bud, let's be more specific about the question..... when you ask a question, why don't you propose some options/solutions and then the peeps on this awesome site will help you out.....

Gawdzira Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 The roof DBX gives you options for one to lock and one to change. You probably want to lock the pitch and change the fascia height to match the more dominant roof plane. It will make your plate height change on the sub dominant roof plane.

MTL-Homes Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Thanks Gawdzira. I'll mess with it this evening. Been using CA for 8 years or so (self taught) and obviously don't visit the forum much. Have encountered this problem a couple of times before and managed to work around it by messing with roof framing settings, but since building has picked up and I'm really busy these days thought I'd check to see if anyone had other ideas before I spent too much time on it. It would be nice to be able to draw it the way its going to be built with both rafters landing on 97 1/8 inch top plates 9 1/4 inch rafters on the 10:12 pitch and 5 1/2 inch rafters on the 3:12 pitch. If I come up with any other solutions I will be sure to post them on this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
architect Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 To keep the plate hts the same you need to adjust the length of the overhangs to match the main fascia ht If you match a 10 pitch to the 4 pitch the overhang on the 10 pitch needs to be shorter....perhaps that's not your question..but If you are changing roof rafter sizes on different roof planes it is making things more difficult for the carpenter. Make them all 2x10s. It's only money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
