Freize and Soffit not showing

[StephenGreene]

customer wants the porch to extend one foot out (on the front only) from the porch beams/wall. when i move the foundation out 12", the frieze and soffit disappear. i know i could make a soffit and frieze from solids, but there has to be another way. right?

It can be done...

I used an invisible wall to create the room that extends beyound the face of your brick entry wall. I did make a new wall type (a copy of brick-4). In this new wall I adjusted the brick ledge depth to zero. I also specified to build the platform (the concrete floor) to the brick layer.  The new "room" has no ceiling or roof specified. 

 

Rooms are the key...they control most everything in Chief.

great idea, Steve. i didn't even think of making that area a "room" with invisible walls. that certainly fixed the problem. thanks for taking time to help with this.
