rectordesign7 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Hi, I have done some manual changes to the roof. And I want to add a porch roof to the entry. When I choose to build roof and retain my manual changes, it then changes my attic wall over the garage by lowering the top of wall and changing its formation. I have attached before and after pics (PNG & PDF) and the CA file in X12. Please let me know if you have any question that may help you help me. Thank you Attic wall changes with build roof command_4.22.20.pdf Project 2.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rectordesign7 Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 I meant wall framing. formation was the wall was at first as it should be arched as it sloped under the curved roof. And when I went to build roof it became a different shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 That's a tricky one. I think Chief just sees that area as needing a roof plane for some odd reason. So it builds an extra little plane which cuts your wall off. You may have checked both Retain Manually Drawn Roof Planes and Retained Edited Automatic Roof Planes, but that is neither an edited auto roof nor a manually drawn plane. Chief simply sees it as a missing plane. I say just delete the extra little roof plane or draw the entry roof manually. I would personally just do the latter.

rectordesign7 Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 Yes, I redrew the wall 1' off of the original wall and went through the same steps and it did the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 How about "Retain Wall Framing" for the attic wall before proceeding. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rectordesign7 Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 Okay, I will try them both to see if one or both work. But I will continue in the morning. Got to get up early. I will keep you updated. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rectordesign7 Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 Thank you everybody. It was the small roof plan that is circled in red that automatically continued pass that front wall. I was going to cute/paste after I re-build the roof but i was just able to delete the extra roof and that solved the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rectordesign7... lovely garage roof, but just a heads-up in case you're not aware, the shingles at the top of your curved roof will not meet the min. slope requirement for shingles (2:12 min). You'll need to address that with some non-shingled sheet material at the top in a call-out or a detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rectordesign7 Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 DzinEye Thank you for the comment. Interesting, I didn't think about that for a curved roof. Personally I don't like them. But I am going through one of CA online training tutorials to learn the program. I am seeing what areas I need to work on and what new things I can learn.
