Mgovia Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 Hello, I wondering how I would go about connecting my fascia and roof lines from two different heights? then have the wall cleanly fill the area. Thanks for any help in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PitMan71 Posted December 5 Share Posted December 5 I don't know of a way to do this with auto roofs turned on. It would be simple with manual roof planes. in this case you could turn off manual roof planes and grab the edge of the upper roof plane that turns back toward the lower roof till it forms a point and then modify the lower roof plane to follow the new valley edge created by pulling the upper roof down. its easy once you get the hang of it.

joey_martin Posted December 5 Share Posted December 5 I would love to see that plan built. I am having a hard time imagining how to build that, let alone create it in Chief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisb222 Posted December 5 Share Posted December 5 I was having the same thought so I took a run at it. Pretty simple with manual roofs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoeGia Posted December 5 Share Posted December 5 Personally, I wouldn't connect the fascia. I'm not a fan of sloped fascia; looks like an oops to me. I would let the upper hip roof die be a hip and return into the lower roof and frame the lower roof back to the hip wall. They're two separate pieces of building, treat then as such.

I am having a hard time imagining how to build that, let alone create it in Chief. It's for sure doable. When I worked for a builder back in the 90's and 2000's we did it all the time.

Mgovia Posted December 5 Author Share Posted December 5 Thanks everybody, This is a request from a builder. I'll give it a try with the manual settings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiAngelo Posted December 5 Share Posted December 5 With autoroofs on, draw an invisible room under the sloped area. Break the outside wall and tell chief the invisible rooms exterior wall is high shed gable. Once autoroofs is turned off you can delete the invisible walls. Choosing between manual or autoroofs method comes down to how far along in the process I am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
