Multi Section & Height roof plane

[buzzsaw204]

hi,

 

i did this manually by just copy and lowered the middle piece. 

 

how / what can i set to get Auto Roof to generate multi section and multi height Roof plan like.  

 

theoretically, i would divide the attic level into 3 space, matching/lined up to the Suite demising wall....and adjust the truss Heel height to +12" on the outer unit, and the middle unit at 0"

 

how can i do this?

my solution is adding a floor to the end units with 18" wall height. let middle unit as 2 stroreys.

 

Auto build the roof... and i got this.

 

then go up to Attic level and delete the Attic wall at on the Middle unit.

You solution seems like a lot more work in order to get Chief to auto build the roof you want.

 

I like your first solution...just build the roof to default settings then make manual adjustment. Job done.

Why can't you just change the ceiling heights of three rooms on the upper floor and then auto build roofs?

yes, you can do that. by changing the ceiling height from 8' to 10', so it raise the roof 24"....but i DON'T want to change the Ceiling height (wall height) of the 3 rooms.  i need the ceiling to be at the 8', same as the rest of the building.

 

theres not an option to Lock the Ceiling height at 8' and raise the Roof to what you prefer.....well, you can! by changing the Truss Energy heel height. but that's if the roof is in one piece, not the 3 piece as i shown here.

It would be nice if we could have a “raise/lower off plate” setting in the wall DBX like we have for roof pitch.
