Roof Frieze Issue

Thank you, I did find that double roof on my plan, but deleting it did not solve it. I do see you have the frieze working on the front of the house, but the back is still off and also on the garage. I will check my returns to make sure I do not have more of them - thank you!

I believe I fixed it...

I think the dimensions for the moldings on the return roofs did not match the main roof...but honestly, it's been 5 min. and I don't remember. I just beat the darn thing into submission...:)

Thank you, Steve. I will see what you did also and see where I made a mistake.

Hey Steve, I've made some simple adjustments which will be very easy for you to follow.

1. This corner has multiple roof planes in the same location

2. All of these 9:12 roof returns are not accurately built

This can be identified easily by zooming in really tight and by changing the Number Style to decimal inches. Copy the fascia elevation from the main roof plane and paste that to all roof return roof planes. Then, reconnect the hips of the roof returns.

Lastly, cut, then paste-in-place one of the main roof planes.

Thank you, Robert. I am typically very accurate with my roofs. But that miss match is defiantly off. I did copy and past my roof returns, so I guess I just compounded the issue.

 

While this is a remodel, and the As-Built trim work is not that important, what I have learned is that using roof frieze moldings does not end the boards properly at the gable end of the returns, whereas using a poly molding did work well.

 

I think this tread will be helpful for those running into trouble with their frieze boards, making them with auto roofs, manual roofs or with moldings. This is a simple model and auto roofs may have been the best approach. However, I do like the molding as in my elevation views, it will show more accurately.

Thank you all again for working on this.

Very good point. Using a molding polyline is also what I would have done to match the existing condition.
