A_Joseph_PE Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Working on a very small house trying to duplicate a model that has been built locally a few times to learn the software better. I can't seem to figure out how to extend this exterior attic wall over the lower gable Can't load the plan since it is oversized?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 It looks like the right side of the lower gable extends back into the house. Pull the back edge of that roof plane toward the front of the house, until the back edge is flush with the house exterior wall, and the attic wall should auto-build. I think.

A_Joseph_PE Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share Posted March 24, 2022 Thanks. Tried that. Any idea how to reduce the file size so I can post here? It isn't a very big house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Joseph_PE Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share Posted March 24, 2022 Terrain was making the file large. Deleted that layer... Here is the plan...

Chrisb222 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Sometimes I have had to pull the roof plane a little away from the wall, like 1/2" to 1" to get the attic wall to build. I'm still using X12 so can't look at the plan but that's something I would try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Joseph_PE Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share Posted March 24, 2022 worked thanks. I was looking for that "Roof Cuts Wall at Bottom" ability for hours. Looked right at it! Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the few places where use soffit material for ceiling might work if you have it set correctly as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gawdzira Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 This is one of those areas in the program where I really want a "Seriously, you know what I friggin' want it to look like" button. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 General rule of thumb is, attic walls will not build if no wall exists below it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
