TACRes Posted Friday at 07:55 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:55 PM I am extremely new to Chief Architect (< a week) and there is an issue with a roof that I can not seem to find a solution to. I know it's something simple that I am just over looking but if someone could point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it! My 12' plate is not dying into my 9' plate like it should. It is trying to round the corner (as shown). How do I fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiAngelo Posted Saturday at 12:38 AM Share Posted Saturday at 12:38 AM Check your ceiling heights in both rooms. They need to be the same. The one that wraps looks like ceiling is a foot or so taller than the left room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TACRes Posted Saturday at 01:34 AM Author Share Posted Saturday at 01:34 AM It's supposed to be taller. The room on the left is a garage with a 9' ceiling. The one that wraps is a dining room with a 12' ceiling. I don't want it to wrap. I just want the 12' plate to lay up on the 9' plate with a valley. I don't know how else to explain it.

PitMan71 Posted Saturday at 02:12 AM Share Posted Saturday at 02:12 AM You are wanting the 12' plate roof to continue left and die in to the 9' plate roof creating a valley instead of what you've got here. Does this sound right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PitMan71 Posted Saturday at 02:42 AM Share Posted Saturday at 02:42 AM Okay...... You might try pulling the front facing wall left edge to the left into the room on the left..... Ultimately, this would be way easier with manual roofs. I would suggest this as it expands your flexibility in situations like this. Automatic roofs are great, but can only get you so far because they are limited to solving based on the location of your walls. In your case, technically the roof can be solved in the way chief is solving it AND the way you want it. Either you manipulate the walls to get what you are looking for or the roofs themselves or graduate to manual roofs. Manual roofs aren't limited to the location of walls. Stay with automatic to get the roof as far as you can and then make the manual changes. I am new to Chief as well. Manual roofs appear daunting BUT really simple once you get the hang of it.

JiAngelo Posted Saturday at 10:36 AM Share Posted Saturday at 10:36 AM Sorry I misunderstood. Can you send an image zoomed out a bit so that i can see how the.planes are all interacting with one another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
