PitMan71 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 All I am having a boxed soffit issue where the trim is being placed on the outside edge of the box and not where it's supposed to be. I have tried several things to try and resolve and nothing is working. Hoping someone has sHidden Oaks 34.plan.zipeen this issue before. Thanks for having a look.

MPDesign Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Hi Shane, I had a look at the trim issue and I think its caused by the curved roof section. I'm not sure if you intended it to be curved. I took the liberty to change it to straight sections and it is doing a better job of joining the trim. attached a sample to look at. hope that helps, Michael Hidden Oaks 34-rooftest-1.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPDesign Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 ok, well I have found curved roofs don't tend to play well in chief. no matter the version. Hope you get it sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdd Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I have found with roofs that if anything happens like you have listed there is an error somewhere. Once that gets fixed everything falls into place. From making sure all roof plans are joined to wall placement CA roofs are very sensitive. Might even be a box needing checked or unchecked. I fixed a boxed eave this morning after a search and found a 10 year old thread that showed me what to do. It worked great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good point and one that I often forget. With a curved roof I rarely "trim" it until I have to. Maybe I just need to give things a little time.

Solution robdyck Posted March 6 Solution Share Posted March 6 I'd suggest getting all the roofs exactly correct before curving that roof plane. Apply the curve only once all the roof planes are correct and all ridges, hips and valleys are connected. Then, be prepared to apply fascia and shadow boards and other trim pieces manually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did exactly what you said and resigned to the fact that I would need to add. them manually. Thanks Rob. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PitMan71 Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 From Support. Hi Shane,Thank you for contacting Chief Architect Support.After some tinkering with the roof, it seems like there's an issue with boxed eaves on curved roofs in X17. I'll make sure this gets reported to our developers to take a look at.In the meantime, I believe the best workarounds would be to either unchecked Curved Roof in that roof plane, or patch the holes manually with 3d solids.NathanChief Architect Technical Support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark3D Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Thanks for sharing that as I gave it a good try but I could not fix it, at least you know now and can stop chasing your tail with it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
