John_B Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Getting tired of incorrect Tile Roof Gables, I've looked high and low and can't find any dialog boxes to make them look correct...is there a way to have the Trim Tile go over the edge like the pic or is this function still non-existent? Not really in the mood to create my own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 @Joe_Carrick posted some of his library symbols for that a while back. Try searching Mission, or Spanish Tile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Here is one I participated in but I think there is also another good one with attachments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Not really sure if Joe has posted his library or just talked about it as I can't seem to find it, but here is another to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't put much effort into this but just adding a round molding to the gutter designation? You could build a pretty simple 3d molding for the eave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_B Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 Thanks all for the replies and effort put into them...I think I'll try your approach for now Rene, can't believe the Chief Boys haven't stepped up with a simple option for this after all these years....

DRAWZILLA Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 This is something we have all asked for many years ago, Yes there are workarounds ,but IMO this should be a standard feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_B Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 Tried the gutter but didn't work....tried creating a Tile and then slightly re-oriented it 3 degrees for proper overlap but I think I need to taper the tile so that it overlaps properly (top is fine but the front isn't)...anyone with ideas how to taper this singular tile??? Getting awfully close using the Distributed Object Tool and offsetting the object -3" from ceiling!!! P.S. I left it concrete color for visual clarity lol!!!

Chopsaw Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Great Job ! Do a little reading about the "Revolve" tool and Faces, then you will be well on your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Solid subtraction then add a polyline solid end cap and block then create as a symbol DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisb222 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I believe I saw a thread where Joe had a method for generating 3D tiles for not just the edge but also for the entire roof, since the flat pattern is especially fake looking. Might be worth finding that thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_B Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 Thanks all for the help! I think I got the jist of how to play with this now even though it looks like the Gable really needs to be likely a half round rather than a quarter round like the real McCoy.

John_B Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 Oh well, since I still had the file open I created a larger round and now it does look better I think! Thanks again all, love this Forum! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t find it anywhere online. Any help would be much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The term used here in Phoenix for the Molding under the the roof ends is a "rolled soffit". This is made by using a styrofoam molding and stucco applied over it. Here is where you add it in Chief: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Chief does not do it automatically, normally people will use a molding polyline using a molding that works for your roof edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
