to generate Auto Roof set to Pitch independently.

[buzzsaw204]

hi all, 

Right now when I generate Auto roof, the entire building is one pitch. 

 

Then I would go in and change the roof pitch per area to what i needed.

 

Is there a setting to set the pitch independently per Area, to Auto Roof generate?

look in the wall DBX, there you can add any pitch you want different than the default on a wall-by-wall basis.

yes, you can set each wall to different pitch.

 

But when you auto generate the roof, the opposite side steel takes the pitch of the main roof.

 

Even if you break the wall, and assigned it a different pitch.

you also have to tun this off after breaking the wall and changing the pitch

Doesn't work. still 12/12 on the Main left roof.

Have you tried room dividers at the breaks so that Chief sees 3 different rooms defined? 

Then try changing the middle room to roof group 1.

 

But I have to ask how you intend to deal with eaves on the long side?  You need the planes to start off at the same facia plane, not the heel height.

Did you uncheck merge co-linear walls before breaking the walls and setting the pitch.  It should be 3 separate walls. works for me

yes, did that. still not.

Roof 3 pitches x16.plan

I think its a bug, used to work good. turn it in to support.

John's suggestion is the best solution for now...may have to tweak manually...or drawing it manually would be pretty fast...can quickly modify any of the initial auto roofs pretty quickly.

 As well as breaking the left hand wall try putting each area in a different Roof Group.
