DeilyContractors Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I was wondering if anyone can help me figure out why the floor of my second floor Cape Cod is showing through the exterior of the roof. I have attached an image. I am a beginning and this is my first home design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kbird1 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 It appears you have Built the Roof with Ignore 2nd Floor Checked ...is that how it will really be built ? ie the Roof Rafters off the 1st Floor Wall Plates? ...One method......Don't ignore the 2nd floor, instead set the ceiling to 1 1/2" high ( thickness of a 2x plate) temporarily , and switch it back to Full height after your don't need auto build roof any longer. Lots of good info in the KB ( KnowledgeBase) if you are just starting out ..........like this Article....see method no#2 https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00772/building-a-cape-cod-or-a-story-and-a-half-roof.html KB.
