Siding Missing

[PitMan71]

On the attached drawing. At where the front porch and the one-story section intersects the two story siding wall there is a bit of siding missing at the lower edge of the roof. How do I fix this?

 

Thanks

Hi Shane, 2 suggestions for you:

1. Delete the ceiling structure for the porch, or reduce the structure depth to 3.5"
2. For the side wall of the Porch, create a wall type that is a single layer and specify the main layer as an air gap.

^^^^This^^^^, although even 5-1/2" ceiling structure would just about work, and you could also just change your side walls from "Interior-4" to "Frame-3 1/2" or some other wall type wih no exterior layers.  That gap is just being generated by the exterior finish layer of the wall.
