dfn001 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I am trying to raise the manual drawn roof planes over a front porch. I have the top of plate at 142 inches and want to raise the roofs 24 inches. Using the transform replicate i enter 24 inches and the results indicate the top of plate for the two side roofs is 167 11/16". The top of plate for the middle roof plane is 167 1/2". why are the TOPs not the same value and why not 166 inches?

GeneDavis Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I have your plan and see your three roof planes at the porch, all of which have identical pitches, baseline heights, overhangs, and fascia tops. The walls are railings with the elevation common at the top of the 4x12 top rail, that elevation being 144". Are you talking about an issue with this plan?

imodel Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I tried group selecting and a 24" move in the Z and got the same result for all roof planes. But also got the odd plate height and heel height. Try adjusting the porch ceiling to 166" and all will be as you expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So either raise your porch room 24" with your roof planes or set your railings to baloon through ceiling...Otherwise its using your default exterior wall to build from and that has a different size main layer from your railings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I selected the three planes, used the trans/rep tool to raise them 24", and all three still have identical top of plate values. See attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
