Hi all,

 

This dotted line (highlighted yellow) has been appearing on a few projects that I am working on. I can't seem to get rid of it or even click it! Not sure if it is part of the roof but it is not the depth of the eave so really not sure what it is showing! It seems to follow the roof line but not always...your help would be much appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Rebecca.

Those dashed lines are on a layer called "Ceiling Break Lines". The cannot be selected or deleted. Their purpose is to indicate that a roof plane underside is intruding into your flat ceiling (Like Eric indicated above in his post). To handle this you draw your roof planes at the proper plate height (you do this by having the "Ceiling Height" setting correct in each Room Specification Dialog and especially in "Edit - Default Settings - Rooms - Ceiling Height". How this often happens is when you build roofs and then alter a ceiling height in a Room Dialog box. Unless you have "Auto Rebuild Roofs ON", roof planes do not update or respond to Room Dialog Box setting changes after they are first built, so if you raise a ceiling height without rebuilding roofs, you get "Ceiling Break Lines" as a result.
