rbenevage6546 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Issues with roof. I created a roof for my drawing and a portion of it protrudes through the ceiling. Is there a fix? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopsaw Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Set your four gable ends to be gable walls and try auto roof again as Eric suggests. Save the old plan file if you like but nothing to loose at this point. Your fascia levels should match across the front. If you are going to roof it manually you will have to join the roof planes in the valleys but there is no reason I see auto will not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbenevage6546 Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 Thank you. I tried the suggestions but they didn't do what I was hoping. So, what I did was delete the front portions leaving only the square. I built my gable roof then came back and added the portions and the program auto built them.

johnny Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 You need to simply learn about making roof planes intersect with each-other. You cannot think just because the exterior looks find that you've made the roof correctly. Except in rare circumstances you need to make the roof planes intersect so that there aren't overlapping sections of roof. Valleys need to be joined like they would in real life. Keep in mind, the roof planes are the "skin" of the roof, not the "trusses" or structure necessarily. You probably think the front gables will be over-frame where they intersect into the main body roof - but when it comes to roof planes it doesn't work that way. Here are some videos that will help you. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/724/joining-roof-planes.html For truss overframe: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/6025/roof-framing-stick-frame-and-truss-frame-dutch-cottage-design.html?playlist=123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
