Sweeney Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Per usual, I am having trouble getting things to work with manual roofs. Trying to accomplish something like the attached picture and can't quite make it happen. Is there a way to trim rafter tails, like you can with trusses using a truss base? Wondering what you recommend for this kind of overlay. I have attached a quick detail to help portray what I am going for. Thanks in advance for the help, Austin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeney Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Thanks for the response Eric, I guess what I am really having a hard time with is the gable end of the porch roof and how to get it to fill in completely (see attached photo). I will have to manually manipulate the rafters after I get them as close as I can with Auto-roofs, which is a pain, but it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Clearly, your sidewall is being stopped by the roof plane, properly adjust the roof plane so it is no longer cutting off that side wall and then all is well. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
builtright3 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 In the future remember also that when your in the attic level you can turn on reference display to see your lower walls so you know where you need to place the attic walls that Chief does not add automatically.
