builtright3 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Any Idea why this wall stud is exposed at the corner of my house in this picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJSpud Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I would try using the new wall corner edit tool and see if that won't fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJSpud Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 It is called "Edit Wall Layer Intersections". Hope that is all it is. Another thought is to select one of the walls and click on the "Connect Walls" edit tool. It might be something else but .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
builtright3 Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 I tried the "Fix wall connections" and "The wall connect" tool and they did not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJSpud Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Another thing to maybe try is open one or both of those walls and checking/unchecking the Wall Intersections options under the Structure tab. I would also make sure your walls are correctly aligned with any walls on the first level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
builtright3 Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Fount the other edit tool but that doesn't work either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Joe, Post the Plan - then someone will figure it out in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJSpud Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Well then, as our good friend Scott would say, post the @#$%^&* plan and we'll take a look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
builtright3 Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 I'm sure it has something to do with the way the wall off sets on the first floor under the roof. Not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebdesign Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I'm guessing it's the attic wall under the hip roof down there. make that wall invisible, or select "Balloon thru.........." for the main wall under that attic wall. could be the edge of your roof plane is not exactly against the siding too.

DRAWZILLA Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I have seen the same thing and fixed it by selecting the lower wall and editing a sliver wall that seems to extend all the way to the 2nd floor plate line. Its a very thin wall segment and you have to drag it down to the 1st level. Seems to me a little bug got in with the new update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gawdzira Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I am with Jim in the Attic Wall Camp. But, we are guessing without a plan file. When you go to post a plan file make sure the file is not currently open in Chief and then zip the file for upload. If it is too big, put it up on a file sharing site like Drop Box.

CJSpud Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Joe: If you are still struggling to attach your plan and/or more images, give me a call in the morning. I am on Pacific time. Another thing that I sometimes find helpful in sorting out problems is to take back-clipped cross sections from perpendicular directions of the problem area. Sometimes you can spot something on a particular layer that is messed up and allows you to more easily troubleshoot and remedy the plan glitch.

DRAWZILLA Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Here is a short video explaining what I think is going on in most cases to create the corner exposed studs http://screencast.com/t/S9NKlbWb0mqG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dshall Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Here is a short video explaining what I think is going on in most cases to create the corner exposed studs http://screencast.com/t/S9NKlbWb0mqG Nice job P., as a side note, I bet if you broke the lower roof at the corner and dragged it 1-1/2" back (width of eave fascia), that may also fix it without manually adjusting the wall..... which I hate to do.

P's solution works, but another solution is to BREAK THE LOWER WALL AT THE POINT BELOW THE OFFENSIVE WALL, and it will fix with no need to manually adjust wall.

That wall was broke at one time but re-connected at some point along the way, I'm running into this a lot lately. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJSpud Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Joe has the same issue with the next corner back. He's going to need a lot of lumber to build that angled corner on the main level further back. Great call Perry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
