Designedit Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Hi I was wondering if anyone knows how to make my attic walls appear in my Gable roof. Id like three gables to the right of the door if facing the house. Can't seem to tweak it enough to make it all perfect and flush with shakes.

RL-inc Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I find that often you need to go to the attic floor and draw them in manually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtldesigns Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Have you tried to extending the roof plane to the attic wall. Do this by being in your first floor plan, and turning on the Reference Floor Display (F9), showing the walls above. This should allow you to snap the roof plane to the attic wall. Shouldn't have to tweak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHampton Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Option 1... Go to the default settings and look for general wall defaults. Turn on auto-rebuild attic walls. Go back to the plan and delete every attic wall that isn't quite correct. The auto-build should spawn new attic walls, nice and neat inside the gable ends. Option 2... Draw them in manually Option 3... Draw poly-line solid attic walls. I do this a lot on custom dormers when the program doesn't get them quite right.

jrt2nd Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I have the same problem as Designedit and I tried option #1 from VHAMPTON to no avail. Then I tried option #2 but the program wont even let me manually draw attic walls. So I did option #3 which worked well except it won't let me put a decorative window in it. Any ideas?

jrt2nd Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I tried the hole in roof idea before and again after solver's suggestion. Again the program would not let me draw an attic wall completely across the gable. (only half the gable). To answer the other comment, I find it easier (and less frustrating) to get what I want by manually building the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
