Chrisb222 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Whenever I'm starting a design using auto roofs and I have the condition (shown) of a gable and a hip with different pitches, the gable overhang grows out for no apparent reason. Different settings in the Build > Roof dbox cause different effects but none produce the result I need, which is for all overhangs to be the same default size specified. I run into this now and then and just live with it while designing with Auto Roofs, then pull the planes back when switching to manual, but it would be nice to have it show correctly auto. Simple X15 plan attached exhibiting the issue. Gable Overhang.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I would call that a bug. Not sure if there's any way to stop it from happening and still leave Auto Roof's turned on, but in case it helps you find a solution, here's what's happening: Notice how the overhang is changing to match the baseline offset for the lower pitch roof plane. If you give some sort of buffer such as a short section of perpendicular hip wall to help disconnect the gable wall from being controlled by that railing wall, you'll get more expected behavior: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisb222 Posted April 13, 2023 Author Share Posted April 13, 2023 Thanks Michael. Interesting how the overhang is related to the neighboring plane's baseline offset. 21 minutes ago, Alaskan_Son said: If you give some sort of buffer such as a short section of perpendicular hip wall to help disconnect the gable wall from being controlled by that railing wall, you'll get more expected behavior: I was just thinking that. I posted the thread right before taking lunch and that idea occured to me afterwards. I've had to do similar things to get boxed returns to look "more right" (sometimes they never look right). 23 minutes ago, Alaskan_Son said: I would call that a bug. I agree, gonna turn it over to TS. I've been dealing with this since I started using Chief, just never bothered with trying to solve it other than correcting it manually. Thanks again.

glennw Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Notice that the left side Baseline is locating on the inside of the side wall and that the ridge is not in the centre of the room. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. The roof itself is symmetrical, but it's not centered on the building: Awaiting a response from TS.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisb222 Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 Response from TS: Hello Chris,It does look like we are dealing with some sort of incorrect functionality. I've already got in contact with our developers about it and explained the problem. In the meantime, the best I can recommend is manually drawing the roof plane in that section once the rest of your house is finished.Sorry for the inconvenience!
