BlackDiamond Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I'm viewing a house I've drawn in perspective full overview and one of the roof planes has a line extending out into space. If you click on the line, it highlights the front roof plane over the den upstairs. I've had this happen before and have had limited success in just deleting the roof plan or wall and starting over. However, this time, none of that has helped and I can't figure out how to eliminate the line. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Use the adjoin roof plane tool to get them to join together properly. BTW Chief has a pretty good auto-roof tool once it is learned how to be used. Some very complex roofs can be done automatically without any adjustments at times. Saves a lot of time once you learn how to use it. Let Chief do the heavy lifting and make necessary adjustments at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this instance, there is another roof plane below it - but not touching the upper roof plane. If I pull the lower roof plane away so that it is no longer up against the exterior wall of the upper roof plane, the line goes away. Once I pull the lower roof plane back against the outer surface of the exterior wall, the line reappears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure it is parallel to the exterior wall and snapped to the surface layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_martin Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 As an aside...check the manufacture warranty as it pertains to flat roofs and the shingles you are showing. Most will not warranty anything below a 2:12 slope. No sense in showing your homeowners a roof that isn't advisable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
