GeneDavis Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 When we "draw" rafters in a roof plan, Chief models them in 3D per the specs of the roof plane. The roof plane's position in 3D space is all specified by us, with elevations, pitch, and framing depth (2x10, or such), and we "draw" to place a member in the 2D plan. I cannot get a couple of rafters to model right in 3D. See the pic. One side looks right, the adjoining roof plane has them wrong. The little 2x4 rafter is an overframe, the 2x6 in foreground is not. I tried deleting the roof plane that has them wrong, and copy-reflected the "good" plane, then redrew rafters, but same "wrong" placement for these. What could it be?

Kbird1 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Try copy reflect the good Framing instead.... looks like on the right they aren't sensing the Roof Space and are dropping down flat though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other possibility is that is actually a ceiling rafter and it looks like a roof rafter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robdyck Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 No plan posted, so we're in the dark here, but does the roof plane with trusses run underneath the framed roof plane? Or do they join at the valley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
