Matt-LaForge Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Hi everyone, First of all, I've worked all morning to find a solution prior to asking for help. In my opinion, asking for help without first trying to help yourself is not an option. That being said, I have inadvertently moved my two roof planes of my simple gable-roofed structure. Being new to Chief, I'm certain i moved each plane at one point, believing I was moving something else or changing views. Because of this, my roof planes were a mess and weren't showing properly. I've figured out most of the issues and resolved them, yet I can't seem to find a way to have the East plane match the West plane so they meet at the ridge. One plane shows the Birdsmouth Depth and Set under Roof Plane/Measurements at 0", while the other plane has expected values. I can't find a difference between planes to make adjustments. Any thoughts or suggestion? My plan is attached, if helpful. Thank you. Matt LaForge Chief Architect Premier X14 Windows Coplin V5.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to drag the ridge edges away from the center first, if they are touching, just to make sure the program is doing the Join properly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt-LaForge Posted March 5, 2023 Author Share Posted March 5, 2023 Perfect! Thank you. I appreciate it. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 A easy way to identify objects with different properties is to group select the objects and have a look for any properties that say No Change or have a dash in an option box. in this case, it appears to be the Structure Thickness - 11 1/4" for one roof and 11 1/2" for the other.
