basilbabaa Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I'm sure this is a quick solution... How can I get auto-generated Gable walls to align with the wall beneath? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 That gable wall is an attic wall. Just delete it, it should regenerate properly. If not hit At Q and make sure rebuild attic walls is checked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 If you select the end wall and click on the "Gable" wall icon on the Edit Toolbar it should eliminate the attic wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Doesn't look like either piece of advice is correct. I always thought that attic walls rebuilt themselves when they were deleted. Can't get that to happen. Selecting 'gable wall' still creates an attic wall - at least here it does. Really bizarre. Can't get attic walls to auto re-build. Thought that was a no brainer. Oh well. Basil you can always go to the attic level and move that attic wall into position. There's also a small icon that aligns wall above and below. You can also check 'balloon through ceiling above' in the structure tab of the lower wall if you want to eliminate the attic wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I manually moved it as you suggested. Only one wall fortunately to contend with here. All the others behaved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Attic wall behavior was changed in X6 and X7. You actually have to delete the attic wall twice to get it to auto-rebuild. X5 would auto-rebuild instantly. http://www.screencast.com/t/bBOzMboP8db Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 You could also use the balloon frame wall to go up to the roof and just delete the attic wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
