Birds-mouth cut width

[SAWConstruction]

I know the wall placement will move the birds-mouth cut horizontally, but what is the software referencing for the width of the cut?  I did not have the software automatically generate the roof framing; I built homes for over 30 years and just don't like how it places some things and it is easy for me to job place what I want and where.  I know it isn't based on the wall width; maybe I will just make a rafter end and cut it down to 3.5 and ignore the difference?

 

thanks in advance... Rob

In general, build framing should correct that, but best to post plan.

I think it is the wall definition.

The horizontal width of the birds mouth cut is dictated by the width of the main layers in the wall definition.

I have an idea that it might be in the overhang of the roof that is stretching it...  I will post if that was it.

I figured out what was going on; I built the roofs manually and I had to open up the roof properties and change it from trusses to rafters, which changed the birds mouth to 0" and displays just fine.
