Placing A Window Under A Roof Plane Baseline

[rjeffl]

I am attempting to place a window in a wall underneath the roof plane baseline of a cross gable roof.

The tool seems understands that there needs to be a structural support at this point in the wall, and will not allow me to place the window in that location.

 

 

The reality is that this cross gable will likely be over framed above the main gable, so wall support structure in this location will not be critical.

I have tried using the command key override (mac) for placement, but no success.

 

Is there any way to override chief's respect of the wall structure and place the window in this location?

Thanks.

so removing the roof plane and then placing the window doesn't work either ?

 

you will likely get a faster answer if you post the plan so others can look at  it.

Jeff,

 

Chief does not do structural analysis.

I doubt that it the roof baseline preventing the window placement - although I could be wrong. 

I have no trouble placing a window under a baseline.  

I suspect that there is something else going on.

 

My best guess is that you have broken the wall at that point.

 

Best to post the plan.

that was my thought too though I can't see it but that looks like the spot the gable would start up so need to be broken ,btw that small roof plane appears to be badly formed  (double lines).

Thanks guys.

It was indeed a wall breaks that were placed to create a full gable wall during the initial roof build.

Moved/eliminated the breaks, and window placement went smoothly.

 

And yes, one of the roof planes needed clean up. Done now.

 

Thanks.
