Larry_Sweeney Posted December 17, 2024 Share Posted December 17, 2024 I'm showing a drip edge on the eave and on the gable I have a drip edge and shadow board. At the intersection of the eave and gable the connecting drip edges don't connect correctly as shown in the attachments. I also show the profiles I'm using on the eaves and gables in another attachment. Is this something I just got to "live with" or is there a solution/work around. Maybe a different profile? Thanks for taking the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_N Posted December 17, 2024 Share Posted December 17, 2024 My suggestion to getting a meaningful answer is to post the plan file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_Sweeney Posted December 18, 2024 Author Share Posted December 18, 2024 Sample 1.plan If I did this correctly, this should be a simple roof plane showing what I show in the pictures I posted in the thread above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted December 18, 2024 Share Posted December 18, 2024 You might need to model a custom eave line profile to match the angle of the roof. If the molding has the angle on the edge perhaps those will connect better. That gable line profile gets pretty ugly at the bottom edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_Sweeney Posted December 18, 2024 Author Share Posted December 18, 2024 Alan.............."You might need to model a custom eave line profile to match the angle of the roof" I'm not sure if I'm following what you are explaining. Are you saying you think I should angle the eave to match the pitch? (perpendicular to the pitch) I don't think that will work because I plan to install gutters.

glennw Posted December 19, 2024 Share Posted December 19, 2024 I am not 100% sure of what you are doing. But isn't this one of those situations where you need to have a small horizontal return to join the eave and gable moldings properly. If you can't draw it, you can't build it...or the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_Sweeney Posted December 19, 2024 Author Share Posted December 19, 2024 Glen.............If you look closely at the eave "shadow board" it's a drip edge, which is a pretty common item used on shingled roofs around here. On the gable is a 1"x2 1/2" trim for a shadow board and also a drip edge. No 1x2 1/2 on eave because gutter will be attached later. All items are drawn correctly and (I think) "attached" correctly. I haven't, as of yet, tried playing around with manually moving the molding p-line to see if "my problem" could be corrected. I think I'll submit to support just to see what they tell me. I've never showed the "shadow board drip edges" before. Now I know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted December 19, 2024 Share Posted December 19, 2024 I did not test this but just a guess. You have A currently. Try B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_Sweeney Posted December 19, 2024 Author Share Posted December 19, 2024 Alan.......................Interesting. I'm calling it a night, but I'll do a follow-up tomorrow and let you know. Have a great one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
