My roof wont build at the top plate.

[Ed_Orum]

I drew a roof plane, then before I finished the roof I looked at it in 3D and for some reason it is not building over the top of the wall. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?  The file is attached.
Thanks,
Lane

The roof is building at the height of the Room, not the wall.

Your walls have been modified in camera/elevation views to be a certain height, which isn't a great way to go about it.

Set your ceiling heights and let your room tell the walls where to build.

 

But for starters, Edit -> Reset to Defaults

Fix the issue, then set your rooms' heights, then build roof planes.

Thanks a million for posting this.  I have framed probably 500 homes and been using Chief since the late 90's and never knew the subfloor was not part of framing.
As for the wall heights, resetting them and then changing the ceiling heights in each room did the trick.
