westvale Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Hello everyone, Does anyone know how to get a fascia on the place where it's missing in this screenshot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 With a look at the plan file I could tell you exactly how to fix it, otherwise I can offer up a couple of guesses. perhaps you have shadow boards turned off on that edge of the roof plane. Select that edge and inspect the shadow board settings perhaps that roof edge is slightly 'off angle' causing a modelling problem perhaps the gable fascia has been removed or altered for that roof plane. Inspect the fascia settings compared to other roofs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_N Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I suggest you post the plan file so an analysis can be done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHampton Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Post the plan for sure. When roof trim won't show up, it's often because it's got interference. What's happening is that the lower roof isn't allowing the upper section enough breathing room to reveal itself. Either the upper roof doesn't have a *break* and it's it's colliding with the lower... or vice versa. Essentially the rake board on that upper is being choked out by the lower roof. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossible to tell without the plan file but I would venture a pretty good guess that your manually placed roof planes are not square. Select that edge of the roof plane in plan view and open up and look at that selected edge to see if its at 90 degrees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westvale Posted August 21 Author Share Posted August 21 Thank you for taking the time to provide a suggestion for me. I've taken a good look at the edges do appear to be at 90 degrees. I was really hoping it wasn't so I could fix it but it still doesn't have fascia. I'd post the file but it's way too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_N Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Put the file in a drop box or a link from OneDrive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspect the fascia settings compared to other roofs. Thanks for your suggestions! I can never post my plans because the files are too big. I checked the "Structure" of that roof plane with that edge checked and the gable fascia checkbox was unchecked - that was the ticket! Now I have a smaller issue with the shadow boards not matching. I compared most of the settings and almost everything matches. I did notice that the "Fascia Top Height" and "Shadow Boards Top Height" don't match between the two roof planes, but I can't seem to be able to fix it. If I try to adjust these to match, either the pitch goes off, of the ridge top height. I found the same sort of issue on another gable end. You would think the planes are not matching but everything looks spot on in plan. I'm going to try sharing the file via Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/52xdx0u55oi0eughpdzej/Pate-07-31-24.plan?rlkey=r49ggohelidtd7k54fwclwx3h&dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use the edit all roof planes tool to adjust the shadow board properties. Specific solutions require the plan file or an online session with someone who provides training; consultation; troubleshooting. Post the plan file and someone will adjust and send it back to you. Work with a consultant and you'll learn some tips that will apply to every project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robdyck Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 When working in the roof plan, try adjusting these layers: turn on the roof baseline layer, something bright and obvious turn on walls, main layer only. This will help you see where the roof baseline should be located. turn on roof dimension layer These roof planes are located incorrectly. Adjust their baseline to the exterior of the wall. Fix the eave dimensions. Re-snap the roof planes. Reset the shadow board for all roof planes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
