HartDeNoble Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Are we able to change where the default roof overhang measures from? I would like it to be from the main wall layer (framing) to the outside of the sub-fascia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 No, you cannot change this setting, it will always measure to the outside face of the outermost trim element: fascia, shadow board, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like it to be from the main wall layer (framing) to the outside of the sub-fascia. However you can simply add the thickness of finish fascia &/or shadow boards to the default overhangs and then it'll at least build correctly. If you dimension roof planes in plan view, then you'll need to devise a workaround to dimension to the subfascia. I use a point marker in plan view to dimension the overhang correctly.

That makes sense, thanks for the tip, I will have to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for tips, I should point out that I only include that addition when using a board-type of fascia or shadow board. For aluminum fascia, I don't bother to add 1/16", I leave it at an even number, like 18" or 24" for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
