Good day,

 

Might there be a way to adjust the truss cantilever for an irregular shaped exterior wall.

 

Please see the attached images of different views.

 

Unless I am missing something, I don't see within the 'Rood Plane Specifications' dialog and option to modify that.

 

Since it is a Cantilever, it is the same plane as the interior ceiling.

 

Any help would be Appreciated.

 

Thanks in Advance! :D

Here is the answer to solve this uneven soffit plane for a roof with a cantilever.  In this instance there is a 4' cantilever around the home and this area at the porch was not showing fully the same cantilever plane.

 

To extend this cantilever to fully enclose this porch area soffit to be flush, you will need to adjust the boxed eave setting on the roof plane where you are seeing the issue.

 

To do so:
1. Open the roof plane specification for the 'roof plane' where you are seeing this issue. (in this instance, it was above the porch)
2. Go to the Options panel
3. Uncheck Flush Eave
4. Uncheck 'Default to Overhang' and change to 140”. (See the attached images showing how this came to be 140" for this specific roof plane area)

Your cantilever should now span the entire area.

 

Hope this may help somebody in the future :D
