3D subfascia won't match depth spec but 2D matches

[GeneDavis]

Take a look at the section.  I specified 7" height for the subfacia, and it measures correctly.

 

 

But look at it in 3D.  It is only 6 1/16" high when the dialog box shows it spec'd at 7".

Are the section view and the perspective view from the same plan?  Or is the section just a detail?  Normally, they should match so that doesn't make sense to me.

 

Is it 7" to the top of the rafter?  Maybe Chief it trimming it automatically so it won't poke through the roofing?  These are just guesses.  You could try posting the plan for someone to take a look at.

Taken from same plan.  Open and see.

In the roof structure tab, set the sub-facia depth to 7". Rebuild the roof framing.

Thanks, @robdyck!  Looks as if the only "built" that matters is Chief autobuild, in this case.  I'll do this on a copy-file first, to make sure the rebuild leaves all the trusses alone.  I spent time editing those trusses to be what I want.

 

The gable sub-f stays at 5.5 and only the eaves go to 7.

Hey, @robdyck, I tried it and it doesn't work.  

 

It may only work when you change both eave and gable subfascia to 7 inches, but in my particular case, I want the 5.5 on gable and 7 on eave, and when I do a rebuild with those set thus, I get the same glitch.

 

And the glitch is only in 3D, as reported before.  A backclipped section shows the sub-f at 7 inches depth.  I'm good to go for con docs.  Nobody but me is gonna see the 3D view with its glitchy result.

 

Got the same glitch on a brand new quick test plan.    

 

I am going to send it in with a ticket and see what Chief says.

You're right, they must both be 7" for the eave sub-fascia to build correctly. So, the program doesn't function as it should!
