MPDesign Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Hi Steve, I would try joining the roof planes again. It may fix it. Would have to see the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgardner Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Without the plan hard to tell exactly. I am assuming you tried exploding the dormer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Well - yes, to get Chief to work properly it is. But - increasing the rafter depth will solve the problem. So - this is an anomaly in Chief that I should submit to tech support ?

Expand There still seems to be an issue in that the soffit protrusions don't seem to be equal and then in the glass house view the roof planes that they stick through don't appear to be the same thickness. Oddly the one that sticks through the most has the thicker appearing roof plane. Is that all just an illusion ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yes...they both stick through the ceiling plane the same amount. Why doesn't the roof plane trim these pieces off like the other components. Weird...

Expand Does your dormer have a different roof slope than the main roof by any chance? I find soffits don't miter properly when joining different roof slopes in certain situations. Although in your case, that pointed end of the soffit shouldn't even be pointed at all! Maybe report that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilianDrafting Posted January 31, 2024 Share Posted January 31, 2024 I often have a similar problem with the valley protruding through the ceiling. I'm not sure why it does it or how to fix it. I have tried re-joining the roof planes. I want it to frame the main roof to the flat ceiling and the dormer to be built on the main roof deck, but to get it to frame that way it protrudes through my ceiling.

SNestor Posted January 31, 2024 Author Share Posted January 31, 2024 I'm guessing...but, the gable roof rafters at 11.25 are too large. Also, the ridge was too large at 11.25. I changed the rafters to 7.25 and turned off the ridge. Seemed to fix things. Fixed plan attached; InteriorValley - SN Fix.planFetching info...

KilianDrafting Posted January 31, 2024 Share Posted January 31, 2024 Thanks, that is another way of fixing the issue. I was hoping there was another solution that would reflect actual framing. Most of the time I rejoin the roof planes to get rid of the main roof below the over-framed gable portion and that seems to fix it as well. But then I have to manually adjust the framing to show it accurately for the framing plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNestor Posted January 31, 2024 Author Share Posted January 31, 2024 The framing actually looks good..and correct. I think what we are seeing protruding through the ceiling has something to do with the soffit. This has been an issue in the past...which I thought they fixed. But - maybe not for every situation. I'm surprised you aren't using any "Saved Plan Views". You are working way too hard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I briefly looked at using saved plan views, but I already use the active default sets drop down as my different plan views. It only takes one second to get to the floor I want with hotkeys - and then I don't need the project browser open all the time. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see the advantage.

SNestor Posted February 1, 2024 Author Share Posted February 1, 2024 I like that a SPV allows complete control of the Reference Display. There are other things such as the display of pony walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
