DH7777 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Having an issue with this floating dormer. Normally I just build my own because chief dormers always give me headaches. LIKE THIS ONE As you can see I have Frieze checked but the settings in Auto roof return are not on. Not sure if I need these on but I need to make the Frieze 5 1/2 inch tall. No options to do this and the frieze doesn't even show up after checking the box and clicking OK Not sure what the point is in giving me a frieze board option if it will not appear in my dormer.

DavidJPotter Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 If you wish to have auto-frieze boards then they must be set in Edit - Default Settings Roofs - Frieze Boards, or set in the Build Roof Dialog box - Frieze Boards check box. That said, sometimes any "auto" setting or function can fail to operate properly from time to time. In such cases you just do what is necessary to obtain a product manually. Chief does most things quite well but is not and probably never will be "perfect" in terms of its functioning, that is where we come in as end users.

If I put frieze on the main roof the dormer sets on it works. I thought the dormer would be it's own entity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

javatom Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 You can make it a separate entity by exploding the auto dormer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
