SkullMesaRanch Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Will someone check my file and see what I'm doing wrong with this roof transition? I can't delete the end truss shown below and am not sure how it got there. I did delete one of the longer trusses at the transition. Also, how do you keep the attic walls from having drywall interiors? I suspect I need to rebuild the roof but didn't want to lose the work I've done.

Garybills Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Your gable wall is not in line with the wall below and what your seeing is the wall framing not a truss. Line the walls and the framing will rebuild. You can make a new wall type for the gable walls and remove the drywall in the wall type specification. If you want end trusses draw a truss at the ends and mark the end truss and check force truss rebuild. You will probobly then have to turn off auto wall framing and manually delete the end gable framing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skull Mesa Ranch.zip 4.08 MB · 8 downloads Hi In the file that you posted there were a couple of things that I noticed in the file before I did anything other than open it. 1) The roofs were in manual. CA would not generate any changes to the roof structure. 2) The wall assembly that has exposed framing has stucco on one side and drywall on the other. So I dug into the geometry of the roof and wall as shown in your screen shot Notice that the longer roof does not cover the wall below (that is an attic wall.) Also notice that the shorter roof cuts halfway into the attic roof. So by pulling back the shorter roof to just touch the attic wall the outer stucco layer shows and the framing is hidden. Also pulling out the longer roof, an adequate roof overhang is achieved. Hopefully this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main problem was that I didn't think it was suppose to have a overhang. All is good for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkullMesaRanch Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Thanks for taking the time to look at my file and point out the problem. I'm surprised CA doesn't have an attic wall type without drywall but as you point out I can generate one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
