Roof Overhang

[HartDeNoble]

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.

No, you cannot change this setting, it will always measure to the outside face of the outermost trim element: fascia, shadow board, etc.

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.

Unfortunate that it cannot be changed in the defaults.

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.

Thanks for the tip, appreciate it.
