j2narchitecture Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Hi. Is there a way to automatically frame a shed and gable roof so that their fascias align? I want the gable and shed roof fascias to be clean and continuous. Any help is appreciated. Thank you kindly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Examine both roofs in a section view to see which one is more readily raised or lowered, framing-wise. Then open the one you choose as fixed-no-edit, copy its fascia height, close, open other roof for spec, lock its pitch, and past in that fascia height. Done. Just like you did way back in X12 and X13. You will need to edit the intersections. Reframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j2narchitecture Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 @genedavis. Hello Thank you. I tried with no luck. Maybe because it is that I have the shed roof as an overframe onto the gable (which is how I would like it to be built). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 (edited) Any roof plane can be moved in 3D space. In a 3D view with roof planes turned on, all framing off, select one or both of the laid-on wings. Do a screencap pic of what you see, and post it here. All four planes shown here have the same fascia height. Edited June 26 by GeneDavis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j2narchitecture Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 Here are current screen shots. All 4 fascias are set to same height. On the 3D framing view, I was able to use the "join and lap ends" framing tool to get the fascias to join like I want them. It is not carrying over to the 3D full view, nor elevation drawings. Attached is also a concept pic of my end goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 So fascia height is not your issue? Please explain what you cannot find a way to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenPalmer Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Join the two roofs where they intersect and the attic wall will fill the space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j2narchitecture Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 Hi. @GeneDavisMy goal is to. have the fascias of the gable and shed roof to be continuous - like the area in the red box. Hope that makes sense. @BenPalmer The joining roofs option would work, but for framing/construction purposes, I want to show the shed roof being framed over/on top of the gable roof.

Solution GeneDavis Posted June 26 Solution Share Posted June 26 (edited) Like this? Edit the upper roof to pull back the section of overhang the lower roof lays on. I pulled it back to the center of the wall so the wall rises as you want to see it. Edited June 26 by GeneDavis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
