Hoff_Design Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago How do I produce an overhang like the hand drawing instead of the rendered model where the roof is an I-joist and the overhang is 2x6 DF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para-CAD Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago (edited) https://www.bc.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/W-spec-guide-BCI-and-VL.pdf RO4? I haven't 3D modeled that in chief, for plans for permit. I make cut sheets for me and details for the plans inspectors.

joey_martin Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago You're not going to get Chief to create that detail. A workaround would be a second roof plane for the overhangs. Model it close and detail the rest out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PitMan71 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago You can create the look just by changing your roof structure to the thickness of the I joist. Leave the "Rafter Construction" as a rafter. Keep the subfacia at 5 1/2. Also, under options uncheck boxed eave. As others have said you will just need to provide a detail showing the actual components. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like @joey_martinsaid, it is possible. When using the double roof planes you may want to double the roof material and adjust it on the smaller roof plane to match better on the larger roof plane. It does section out nicely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoff_Design Posted 41 minutes ago Author Share Posted 41 minutes ago Thank you everyone for your input! I used copy and paste in place on the roofs, made the changes and here it is. It is not perfect, (not sure how to align the 2x6's to the side of the I-joist) and I would want to show blocking between joists at the top plate. (probably just create a 3D solid for those?) Had to move out of auto build to manual. This does work well for section view. Again thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisb222 Posted 28 minutes ago Share Posted 28 minutes ago 10 minutes ago, Hoff_Design said: not sure how to align the 2x6's to the side of the I-joist Just scoot the "rafter tail" roof plane over the thickness of your I-joist. It will throw off your roofing material, as Shane shows above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
