auto rebuild roof not working

[brianhf]

608 E Brown plan prelim.zipAuto rebuild roof is not working.  I can rebuild by checking "make roof baseline polylines", and going through the roof building steps, but the auto feature seems to be using the old baseline.  How do I tell the program to make new baselines automatically?   I tried to upload the plan file but I am getting an error.

 

thanks, Brian.

I don't understand.  I opened your plan an Auto Rebuild is already turned on and working just fine.  If I change any given wall to a gable or hip for example, the roof changes to suit.  And you have no Roof Baseline Polylines in the plan.

Making new baselines automatically isn't a thing because it would be useless and potentially confusing.  The whole purpose of making Baseline Polylines is to disconnect the automatic roof from using the roof directives in your walls and rooms to use using directives from the baseline polyline instead.  An automatically regenerated baseline polyline would have to adjust based on walls and rooms and would therefore serve no purpose.  At some point you just need to say "okay, its time to make that disconnect." and click on that Make Roof Baseline Polylines tool.
