brianhf Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I have a brick wall, and it has a gable wall above it that is siding. Full roof return. The gable siding wall is not building the correct thickness (seems to be using the brick wall thickness from below), and the frieze board in the gable not building correctly. I expect this issue is in my wall structure settings, but I can't figure it out. Screenshot. I would attach my plan file, but the system says it's too large. Thanks, Brian.

Kbird1 Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Hi, The lower Roof plane is not touching the Wall hence no frieze and the gap , uncheck "no special snapping in the Roof Plane's DBX and drag it back to the Gable wall. You also need to turn on the Frieze for the Full Roof Return ON too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianhf Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 Kbird1, Thanks for your reply. That fixed the gap and the missing frieze, as well as the brick frieze below the return. What do you suggest for the brick frieze that is present but not correct in the upper siding gable? Also, odd gap on the top side of the full return (won't really show in 3d views anyway) I can remove the frieze from the roof plane, but it removes it from the lower brick gable where it does belong. Should I just draw a frieze manually using polyline solid? Thank you so much!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 My guess is you have "played with that gable wall in 3D/elevation and on the structure Tab the default wall top and bottom are not enabled? OR that the wall needs "pulling" over to the Left , so it looks like this..... Auto Roof Returns can't be edited but the Auto Roof Return can be turned off and done manually and then you should be able to extend it over the brick, back to the Siding wall above. Mick.

brianhf Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 All of my settings match yours, and the siding gable seems pulled to left. But It seems you have to have the brick frieze in both gables or none. Thank you for your response. Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I didn't have the Brick gable wall issue in your plan, but try this..... In Plan goto the Attic level , making sure you can see ( display) attic walls , Hit Alt-Q for general wall defaults and UN-check Auto attic Walls .... Now delete all attic walls > group select >delete Alt-Q again and turn Autobuild attic walls back on and see if that cleans it up.... ( Chief sometime leaves behind walls in the attic it no longer needs , this will rebuild only those it really needs ) Mick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianhf Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 Mick, The auto rebuild attic walls didn't seem to do anything, but I think I have stumbled into an elevation I'm willing to accept. Thanks so much for your help. Eric, thanks for your reply. Delete floor is a great idea to clean up a messy attic. Thanks for that.!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
