Roofs - Proper Height?

All,

 

I'm wondering what should be the best method for using the AutoRoof function to ensure that the roof is sitting at the desired height.

It would seem out of the box, there are some weird functions that are happening where the roof is landing higher than anticipated.

For clarification, I'm not a roofer, but I do understand that when viewed from a cross-section that the birdsmouth should land over the top plate.

And why is the value "Raise / Lower All Roof Planes" arriving at '1' 3 5/8' for an AutoRoof?

Where is this value being pulled from??

Your rafters are 2x10s. On an 8/12 pitch, the vertical plumb cut depth is approximately 11 1/8"

 

Forgot to add that you didn't show the plan.  You may have some other roof intersections that are raising the roof planes so that the facia plane out all around the building.
