stevenyhof 30 Posted November 30, 2020 Hello, I am struggling with another issue that I would think should be simple. But my roof keeps snapping and opening up my interior attic wall... https://www.loom.com/share/4a4ba5b836ce487780445c67626fba8d SND1975 Ron and Katha Petroelje.plan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShaneK 104 Posted November 30, 2020 fixed it, not sure what causing it. Attic walls can be a SOB 1657526790_SND1975RonandKathaPetroelje fix.plan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevenyhof 30 Posted November 30, 2020 Sorry, not quite there. I have sense learned that because I have a different pitch ceiling that the wall will be cut at the roof and not the ceiling, and so I need to add a solid. Thank you for trying! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The plan has a roof and a ceiling plane. And...I also think the roof plane is cutting off the gable end attic wall in the wrong location. All that said...If you make the gable end attic wall "roof cuts wall at bottom"...then there is a gap created between the bottom of the roof plane and the top of the ceiling plane...which has a smaller pitch and is a couple feet below the roof plane. You will need to use a solid to fill this "gap". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Steve, looks like you figured this out, and I haven't looked into it other than reading your post. The sentence of yours I quoted just warranted a quick comment in case you're unaware...but if a roof is snapping to something you don't want it to, there is a checkbox in the middle of the 'general' tab labeled No Special Snapping. If you check that you can sometimes solve problems related to roof snapping. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you check that you can sometimes solve problems related to roof snapping. I will give that a try. I haven't done yet what Steve proposed. I will let this thread know the results.

stevenyhof 30 Posted December 1, 2020 Well, well,well... [ x ] No Special Snapping That worked! I straightened out the roof to be flush on the outside and the roof stayed this time. Went inside and the wall above the ceiling plane is filled in as it should be without a solid. I have learned so many things today from so many of you - thank you!!
