Kbird1 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 This one? what is it supposed to look like or be doing? Try drawing the new foundation for the addition 1st...... at the moment the manual roof plane is referencing the 1st level ie 68" not -68 it's because you have an above ground "basement" , you could just of built the basement on level 1 and the 2nd floor on level 2....as the Program expects. I would suggest using auto roofs for a simple structure like this, your roof planes don't join well and aren't aligned on the ends properly. Set the two end walls to gable in the wall dbx , the pitch to 5 in the build roof DBX and you are done... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I inserted a floor into your plan while on the foundation level 0 and created a new 18" deep "foundation" and the Roof plane is acting as it should.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I don't think that you can draw a roof plane lower than about Chiefs zero floor height by default. Although you can draw it on level 0, in 3D it will display at about the level 1 floor height. Select the roof plane and use Transform/Replicate...Move to move it to the desired height.

That does appear to be the Issue ........ you can set the heights manually CC55, but they will all need to be negative numbers to force it below CA's set level 1 height of 0" I just thought it better to force the whole structure up one level above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
