Tkangas Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I've been using Chief Architect for 20 years but I still run into challenges. An issue I've been unable to fix is: to make a flat roof thickness match the fascia height. When viewed from below, the soffit appears recessed into the eaves, but it should be flush (or nearly) with bottom of fascia. Unable to attach floor plan. ANY help is greatly appreciated!

Chrisb222 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Without the plan file it's just a guess but I'd try increasing the gable sub fascia depth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneDavis Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 This roof has a 3:12 pitch and a triple-step fascia, but as can be seen in the structure settings, the gable and eave subfascia settings are different to be able to achieve fascia line matching.

When viewed from below, the soffit appears recessed into the eaves, but it should be flush (or nearly) with bottom of fascia. The soffit height is controlled by the bottom of the sub-fascia. The top of the finished fascia is is controlled by the bottom on layer# 1 in the Roof Surface Definition dialog. Another thing I do is add a 0" layer at the bottom of the surface definition to trick Chief into building the roof structure correctly. That's how it makes sense to me anyway.
