over-roof plane, incorrect rafter size modeling

[chrisinnh]

Me again! Sorry to be such a squeaky wheel.. 

 

I'm trying to model one roof plane over another, using the z-axis as suggested here to raise the second over the first.  This is a whole house rebuild, a second rafter layer is being used to add insulation.  Second rafter layer will match the first in depth: 9.25in.  Chief models the second rafter layer as 5.5in, same as the overhangs, despite defining this dimension prior to drawing the plane.  When I exaggerate it, to 36in for example, Chief moves the new rafter plane up the z-axis by that number and maintains the 5.5in rafter.

for the second roof plane, did you try and go into it and change it to 9.25"

It was set at 9.25 before I built it- went back and confirmed.  Exaggerated to 36in, and all that did was elevate the 2x6 roof above the original roof by 3 ft.

hmm, and you click on it then clicked rebuilt framing for object?

Try this.

Thanks Gene, that woulda saved me a lot of time earlier... worked great for aligning the planes.  Alas, the second plane is still 2x6... I think that'll have to do for now.
