Lighthouse Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) Hi, any simple answer to why my siding stops short of the roof? Is it a setting the the structure tab of the roof dbx? The siding is stopping at the ceiling height. I have 12" rafters, and a 6" fascia. I want the siding to go up to the bottom of the soffit. thanks! new flat roof.plan Edited December 6, 2017 by Lighthouse added plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 the picture is too small to see any details , post the plan.... did you raise the roof after the fact ? is auto roof off and needs an update? framing needs a rebuild? ....... too much guessing as you can tell M.

Kbird1 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Seems like a bug to me but in this case checking the Balloon through option on the structure tab for the WALLS fixes the siding , the wall framing still stops at the rafter bottom, but a section shows two weird ??? I don't see in other views.... Is that a standard zipwall wall definition? ( we don't have zipwall here , just read about it...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 thanks, balloon framing works! re zipwall, this is a special R6 zipwall. It consists of 1" rigid insulation and 1/2" osb. My standard wall assembly is 2x4 with fiberglass batts and the R6 zipwall. I think having the continuous insulation over the studs makes more sense than high R in the wall cavity, but then no insulation at all the framing members (studs, headers, etc).

Kbird1 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 checking the Truss Box ? that causes the whole roof plane to drop to about 6" thick ....... at least in my plan.... I am not sure this is framed with a hip roof at 1/4" slope though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
