A_Joseph_PE Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I am trying to create a vaulted porch ceiling hat continues from the living space with the same geometry as the interior vaulted space. I am using scissor trusses with a raised 14" energy heel. I will carry that same truss outside, though I don 't need it. I have a few questions: 1) How do I create the wall in that open space above? 2) I created the ceiling planes to start at the 109 1/8? top plate level, but the heel raises the fascia and it looks odd. I can't seem to create attic walls near the fascia? 3) Should I be defining this room as a Porch? Plan attached.. Thanks Vaulted Porch Ceiling.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para-CAD Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Search Chief Skills on YouTube. I pasted a link to his channel (Steve) and was given a NO - since the url did not directly link to a specific video. Steve has all kinds of porch related videos to get you past this hurdle.

A_Joseph_PE Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 Any ideas other than the sales pitch above? No matter what I do to this, I can't figure out the porch end wall? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rgardner I thought I was doing just that. Perhaps it is the ceiling plane that is messing it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Joseph_PE Posted October 20, 2022 Author Share Posted October 20, 2022 Solver.... Thank you for that video. Seems so obvious once you started working on it. Forgot about that dialog box "roof cuts wall.." Much appreciate it. This one perplexed me. Seemed so simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefUserAshley Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Hi, did you figure this out? I am trying to have roof cut wall at bottom but it isnt working and im thinking its because im using a ceiling plane and not a roof plane for my scissor truss bottom. Which video of Steves did you find? I cant find one similar Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug_N Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 This was completed by going to the attic view in plan, drawing the default siding over the lower wall, and then manually editing the wall shape. Vaulted Porch Ceiling.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
