Porch Beam to Roof Misalignment

[buddy21]

I'm trying to create a covered porch using the railing tool.  I'm using the Post to Beam feature, but can't seem to get the roof alignment correct.  Any advice would be much appreciated!

It looks like you may have the opposite problem as discussed here:

 

Same solution though I think.

Hi Chopsaw,

Thank you so much for the response!  You're correct...both solutions worked for me.  I opted for the "Gable sub fascia depth change" to preserve the height of siding above the entry door trim.  I am very grateful for your help!

 

Kind regards,

Steve

Excellent.  If you have a moment maybe post the finished comparison so others can see the results with your procedure.  Thanks,  Chopsaw

Hi Chopsaw,

 

Here's a picture of the corrected beam after changing the "Gable sub fascia" from 5-1/2 inches to 3-1/2 inches.  I've since changed the beam to white but for comparison I switched back to the wood.  Thanks again for your help!  You save me from wasting a bunch of time.
