Roof Boxed Eave Missing Issue

[jparkerrendering]

I figured this question has been addressed many times but I couldn't find it in the forum,

I'm running into a frequent issue when creating box eaves on dormers and custom roof planes. They disappear only when the ridge is connected with an adjacent roof.

The box eaves will reappear if I separate the roof ridge line, (as shown in my attached photos),or move my roof base line Away from the wall by the desired eave distance, or when I drag the plane inside the outer wall perimeter.

 

If anyone else has experienced the same issue or is aware of a practical work around, I am all ears.

 

 

 

 

I appreciate your time for reviewing this post.

Many times it is due to not correctly set heights especially when using manual roof planes instead of using the automatic roof plane tool.  Also happens if your roof planes are not joined.

Hi Ryan,

 

I appreciate your response, but all of your suggestions are not the case in this specific issue. 

if I shift the left plane a fraction manually, the eave reappears, with evidence of the slight offset of course.

The automatic roof plane tool also wouldn't pickup this porch area unfortunately.

I can manage to keep the boxed eave if I make a slight space between the brick wall and the roof for the sake of creating a 2d elevation, but not optimal to keep practicing that way.

If you can post the plan I'll take a look and see if I can offer a solution. I never have an issue with boxed eaves, only flush eaves!

That is exactly what it sounds like.  Check your individual roof plane heights.  Btw that is very doable with auto roofs.
