twnctyguy Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I changed the eave fascia from the standard 7 1/4" to 5" on the addition to the main house, but you can see what happened. I have no idea how to fix this. As always any help is appreciated.333 Lucy Street Plan.plan 333 Lucy Street Plan.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twnctyguy Posted June 26, 2023 Author Share Posted June 26, 2023 Tried that, it doesn't change anything. Further, I did a test plan setting the eave fascia default at 5", and it turned out fine, plus the settings under "structure" are identical to mine, ingluding the gable sub fascia.

Larry_Sweeney Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 What you are showing are the eaves. Try changing the sub-eave. If that doesn't work, send a screen shot of the "structure" dbx. for the roof plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 It's a roof framing spec thing. Reduce the height of the eave subfascia by 2.25" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twnctyguy Posted June 26, 2023 Author Share Posted June 26, 2023 I've tried changing everything including the rafter size, and it doesn't help. Structure dbx attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "Eave Sub Fascia" is what the Soffit attaches to so it must be less than the "Eave Fascia" by the thickness of the soffit and usually a bit more which creates a drip edge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems to work. Although this dialogue box is one of the world's great unsolved mysteries. Thankfully Chief’s auto roof gets things mostly right, otherwise I’d still be working on my first plan.

CharlesVolz Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Also, make sure it is re-framing, i.e., auto frame roofs is on or manually select roof plane(s) and select frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
