builtright3 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) Is their and way to show 1x6 shiplap or T&G as the starter board on the roof eaves as the roof sheeting and OSB sheeting on the rest of the roof? Disregard the red circle around the fascia board. Edited April 15, 2019 by builtright3 Clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Not quite the way you have it in your detail. However you can fake it in 3D if you don't have a fascia board by flipping the soffit material up directly under the sheathing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I just have to remember how I did it. Another way I guess I could just change all the sheeting to T&G but the material list wont be right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question would be. Can we make it show up in the materials list as ship lap? And could it calculate as square foot so material could be ordered from it?

That seems like it would be similar to the ceiling plane suggestion but maybe even easier ? Apply the Ship Lap material to the soffit and Define the Material as Material List Calculation "Area".

Problem is on the hip. The soffit cant be edited to do the angle and it sticks out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopsaw Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 There is usually more than one way to skin the cat so you don't have to sleep in the doghouse. Good Work. I think that was Perry's alternate when the interior ceiling is not exposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think maybe the ceiling plane idea would be a good solution on the inside because a cavity will need to be created for insulation anyway. Just a thought, haven't tried it.

Chopsaw Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 The ceiling plane was another of Eric's ideas for the soffit area. The interior room should be able to provide a ceiling inside the building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interior room should be able to provide a ceiling inside the building. The T@G bottom layer can be added (as per my past post) to cover the eaves and you can use the soffit to do the inside T&G because most of the time we don't have hips to worry about on the inside. I think that will work nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorgearaya Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 The simplest way to do this is to use a roof plane to do the starter board!! just butt the ends! Roof planes will follow the baseline, will make all corners, hips, valleys, etc. Very complex designs can be achieved by creating layered roof planes, meaning built up superimposed on top of the other, i.e. Roofing o/sheathing o/purlins o/sleepers o/sheathing o/planks o/framing and so on... It's just a matter of replicating them and changing the elevation slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been experimenting and your right it is a very powerful tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
