Ceiling joists are overlapping rafters at seat

[ChristianA]

Does anyone know how to control this behavior?  I can't find any setting to adjust ceiling joists so they properly sister next to the rafter.  When I generate framing for roofs, the ceiling joist centers are always 3/4" from the rafters instead of 1 1/2".  I am using a framing reference BTW.  Thanks!

Give the joists a starting point. Look in the framing tools.

I already am, as I said in the last sentence of my first post

We don't tackle framing in Chief a whole lot, but I'm guessing if you have a very specific location that you want your ceiling joists (i.e. right beside your rafter), I would set the first one and then place all your other members based off that one.

Auto-anything in Chief is fine for some of what you do.  The rest needs to be manual...but the manual way is still pretty easy to do.

You would be right, JonathanK.  The thing that is weird about this is that Chief is already automatically moving the ceiling joists 3/4" (instead of 1-1/2").  I feel like there is a setting somewhere that I am missing.  I can definitely move the ceiling joists manually, but I'd rather the automatic framing do it right.

I guess what I would do is turn off automatic for my ceiling joists; move my reference marker where it would need to be; build the ceiling joists; then move it back so that all the auto-framing members are being referenced in the correct location, and turn on auto-framing for everything besides the ceiling joists.

Not "auto", but 90%...
 

Otherwise, I don't see an "offset" feature that would allow you to keep auto-framing on.
