Cannot get angled header to trim/extend in wall detail

[GeneDavis]

Take a look at the pic.  I first autoframed the wall, which then required manual editing to get it where I need things.

 

The angled header on the R won't trim/extend.  In autoframe, one came in on R and L sides but editing was needed, and in doing the edit I deleted all on the R side of this symmetrical wall.

 

What you see in the pic is from taking the top horizontal header, copying it and rotating it parallel to the needed angle, and placing it, but it won't trim.

 

Why not?  I'm gonna have to delete it and fake it with CAD, which is OK, but should I have to?

Does a copy>reflect about of the "good" header work?

 

FWIW I always seem to run into problems with headers over angled-top openings working properly unless its a very basic configuration. For instance if you mull two trap windows with the same top angle together, Chief will only try to frame a horizontal header above the mulled windows, resulting in partial headers or no headers above those openings if your windows are high in the wall near the ceiling. Same thing happens if you have your framing defaults set to build headers at the top of the wall instead of top of opening, and/or combine headers, it won't auto frame angled headers in that situation.

No.  Copy mirror produces the headers (the 2x6s) with the cuts 90 degrees off.  Drag them away, click on the king, do extend, and it won't chop right.

 

I'll submit a bug ticket, see what Chief says.

Did anyone ever get a response to this question.  I am really struggling with the same issue, specifically the mulled unit with tapered top near the top of the wall.  The auto framing makes a big mess of it.  Framing for angled walls is IMO much more important to be able to show than a normal wall, so this seems like an important issue to address

That is a bit tricky but the key is to add a "throw away" piece that you would place for the vertical past it and use the "join and miter ends" or "join and lap ends" tool which will mess up the "throw away" piece which you then delete and trim the new angled piece to the jack or king stud.
