kwhitt Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Like the title states a rafter ridge has a break in it in camera view. It's definitely once piece. Anyone got any ideas on how to solve this one? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Maybe uncheck the box that says "Randomly Display Structural Items". Likely need the plan file to sort that one out if it is even possible. Do you have a .png material applied ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked in the camera view settings and prefs. Attached is the plan. CHF_Beacham_Shambaugh_REMODEL_07-17-20.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopsaw Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Sorry Kevin. I thought it may have something to do with a very similar bug report I sent in yesterday but can't quite put my finger on the source of the problem. It is likely tied to the same reason your walls will not build to the underside of the v-joint. Potential workarounds would be to drop the ridge rafter ~ 5 1/2" or replace it with ceiling beam or p-solid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Yes I caught the wink, but unfortunately someone else did not. If you don't get a good answer here in a reasonable time frame I think that plan file should go to tech support. If I have time later I will read through your other thread to see if I can come up with another idea. If you add an air gap below your rafters it will allow the ridge beam to fill in but it also makes the wall issue worse... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
