DB-Designs Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Hello Everybody! I have a gable roof with a 4" frieze board. Part of the frieze board is missing and I'm not sure what is causing this. I have re-drawn the roof planes and it still happens. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I have attached an image to show everybody the area of concern. Thanks for all help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Don't know why, but it happens to me a lot with roofs enclosing rooms like in your picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I have had this happen when there is a room below - even at foundation level. Maybe a basement access stair down there? I had one the other day - made the walls for that lower room no room def and the trim appeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-C Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I've found that sometimes this happens after an edit. Most of the time I can select the roof dbx in 3D and then click ok and the frieze will fill in. This doesn't always work but more often than not it does.

dshall Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I think you guys should send these plans in to Brian so he can fix this. It is hard for him to find the problem if he does not have something to work with. Your time spent will benefit you in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dshall Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Please excuse my ignorance.....but who is Brian? Who is Brian? Are you kidding? You do not know the Great Brian Beck.... one of the programmers of this program, the overseer of all things messed up, the guru of all gurus......... he is a guy who sits in a little cubicle fixing things that are messed up...... darn, I am not sure what email you should use, if interested in reporting issues, please call CA and they will probably give you the email to report issues to.

joey_martin Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 It happens a lot. I generally ignore it until my final "punchlist" and about 80% of the time it fixes itself, the other 20% I select it and uncheck the box that says "no molding on this line".

evergreen Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 This is a long shot, picked this up from "jon"...There may be what's called z-fighting going on between the molding and the siding. It just means that the images are competing to be the top "visual" layer. Try this, it may work...In the "Cad" drop down, select "Edit Active Camera", and then in dbx see attached...

kMoquin Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 It is not z fighting it a is a room issue. Z fighting would not be a clean break. it would look more like the attached image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_Park Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 It looks like a bug. File a report with our support team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandilocks Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I constantly have disappearing Frieze boards. It is SOOO frustrating! It almost always happens when there is a porch roof below. I have tried almost every trick in the book, but obviously there is a trick I am still missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Make sure all your roof plane lines are straight, if they are just a little off, things just get messed up. Also re-join all the roof planes to one another. Might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4hotshoez Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Make sure all your roof plane lines are straight, if they are just a little off, things just get messed up. Also re-join all the roof planes to one another. Might help. I have had success with Perry's method for the frieze on a horizontal eave, but not the gable. It comes and goes randomly as I work on the model. So to fix it before your done is a waste of time. But it would be nice to have it be consistent. Picture: The center gable had the foundation wall extend to the roof at one time and has not been right since I corrected it. The small gable to the left was fine until I edited the window size and head height. But I have several more of these in the model. I would gladly send this plan in to TS - Brian if I could get an email. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Automaticity sometimes fails but manual fixes always can be made to work. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javatom Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I think you have to unlock the roof trim layer to manually adjust it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
