GrantDM Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 I am struggling to create a roof properly when dealing with varying ceiling heights in one plan. Why is it rendering this way? How can I prevent this from happening? Am I missing a step when generating the roofs, or does this need to be done manually? Thank you in advance!

GrantDM Posted September 15 Author Share Posted September 15 I can't get my .plan file any smaller, so you can download it here instead: https://drive.google.com/file/d/130SdLtKFbYTjNGeobKZG9euOOA-ANdes/view?usp=share_link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Designers_Ink Posted September 16 Solution Share Posted September 16 Give this a look. The attic wall type did not match up to the upper exterior (stucco) wall, so there was an offset. It was an interior wall with drywall. The roof plane cut into the wall, so I turned off the special snapping in the dbx for that lower roof plan. That allows you to move that edge of the roof plane over so it doesn't cut the wall. Keep in mind, your upper wall is a thicker wall (2X6 stucco) than the thinner interior wall below it, so that thicker wall will be partially unsupported unless you do a 2X6 interior wall below it. If you do a 2X4 stucco attic wall to fill in that triangle, you would have to shift that 2X4 interior wall over 2" so it would line up. Hope this helps. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/tv1cxmisjou58jmqxh1qd/Custom-Home-4-modified.plan?rlkey=fwhhca3f9bjyzs1llljuqb3bq&dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So simple, yet I hadn't considered the different wall types being automatically generated. I really appreciate your help! Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
