divreig Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 So i have set all the settings like pitch base line etc. in the roof plains dialog to match but the roof plains will not join. It looks ok in views , so not a biggie for this project. But i would still like to understand why? File attached. Existing.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Try to work with auto roof as long as you possibly can. It should be able to handle a roof such as this. See attached plan file. Existing Chopped.planFetching info... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Your fascia top heights should match if you want a clean roof plane join. If you drag your soffit in plan view by stretching the soffit edge instead of moving the roof plane then you'll change your fascia top height. Move the planes so they line up where you want in plan view first and then join the roof valleys. This way you won't be changing the fascia top height.

Expand Ok Thanks, soffit edge is edge of the roof plan? I was doing that. but will try again. I really like to improve my roofs in CA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did most of it in auto roofs, pitch placement gables, then tried ridge heights, and it all went to heck. No other changes not sure how much other automated septs i can take. I if missed something let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I took a quick look at your plan, and it literally only took a matter of seconds to clean it up. I'm pretty sure you're just not using the Join Roof Planes tool correctly. You need to: 1. Make sure that the appropriate edge is selected and highlighted. 2. Click the Join Roof Planes tool. 3. Click on the edge that you want to join your roof plane to.
