Gawdzira Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 The picture of the existing condition is what I would like to do. The model seems to want to do what the vector view shows. Is there a way to rebuild without dragging the walls up in a camera view that will give me this condition? Erinphries as built (2).zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJSpud Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Alan: I don't think so. Chief likes to place blocking in the space between the rafters ... as I am sure you have already determined. I thought using a wall material region might be helpful but it won't extend up into the rafters when I try it. Using a PL solid will if you want to use that as your exterior finish. There might be some other way to trick it to work ... I will have to scratch my head a little harder to come up with other options. Have you tried lowering the roof after its built? That doesn't sound like a good option to me. How about 2 floors and then lower the roof to match the first floor plate heights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Alan, It can be done - but it's not very logical. Delete your blocking. Open the roof dbx and set the Gable Sub Fascia to zero - it will probably default back to 1/16". This moves the top of the walls up to the roof.

Kbird1 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Actually if you don't mind quick and dirty Alan it can look ok if not 100% perfect like this : - Looks like you did the Roof Planes Manually , so I reset the Walls so I could play with the Auto Roof settings 1st , - then set the Roof blocking to 8 1/4 " ie 1 " more than rafter depth ( so there's no join line) and set them Vertical. - then I added a rafter on the end flush with the stucco and shortened it to the wall line - then with the Painter Tool painted the end Rafter I just made and the blocking with the wall Stucco. Edit : as you can tell I wasn't aware of Glenn's Tip either.... NICE looks better in Vector too.

Gawdzira Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Logic? We don't need no stinkin' logic. Thanks Glenn and Mick. I always regret grabbing the wall tops and adjusting so this really helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dshall Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I think Perry had a different method. Maybe Perry will pipe in and explain how he does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennw Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Ah...you need to uncheck Ceiling Over This Room - everyone knows that!! . It is the ceiling joists that are forcing the wall top down. I'm off to bed now so will have a play in the morning and see if I can figure a way to do it with the flat ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can have ceiling, I do need to balloon thru, I do need to have zero subfascia and I think I need zero blocking. See plan. A lot more work than it should be. alan wall to roof zero block zero sub fascia with ceiling.plan.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 I am so happy (and sad) that this was not me being a dope and spending 8 years working on a CADD program to just be slightly mediocre. I should not need to delete the blocking to make this happen. See the section where I have lost my bird blocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is silly that we cannot have the vertical blocking stack on top of wall and have exterior finish go up to roof sheathing. A very very common occurrence. It seems to me that on an occasion I stumbled on a solution but I did not study it and I do not know if I could replicate the solution. Glenn's method seems like we are giving something up, i.e. the blocking and a sub fascia. Recently I saw a post by Perry whereby he had a solution. Hopefully he will pipe in with his solution......... if he ever gets out of bed the darn slug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 It wasn't me, I have been just accepting what chief gives me, with no views looking from under the eaves or raise the top of the wall temporarily just for that view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Strange cos when I tested Glens tip ,after figuring out it was the depth setting of the gable fascia that needed to be 0" , it worked for me with no issues in Alan's Plan, didn't delete the blocking but may have set it to 0"x0" too. Will have a play when back at Computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I didn't look at your Plan Scott so perhaps things are setup differently? , but I'll attach Alan's Revised Plan below, but perhaps I am not quite understanding your issue? I rebuilt the Roof Auto ,after setting the correct Full gable etc. then applied these settings and changed the Roof sheathing to whitewashed decking spun to 0° on the texture and Pattern. Blocking makes no diff. in Alan's plan at lest... M. Erinphries as built_R1.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stucco Roof Settings.JPG Erinphries as built_R1.plan I opened Alan's plan, I built the framing, adjusted the thickness of exterior finish so the blocking will show and you can see by the picture what I got. Note the blocking is OUTSIDE of the wall and not stacked on top. Solution, minimize the blocking so it does not show and then edit as needed to show blocking on top of wall in lieu of outside of wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Well I can't be held responsible for the vagaries of CA Actually all I did was select the block in section view and turn off auto height and drag it back where it was supposed to be . While doing that though I noticed the other side of the house didn't get the blocking or the stucco upto the roof sheathing ( I never spun the model so didn't notice that earlier). Easy to copy and paste blocking to the other side , but not sure about the full height stucco on that side as it is on the other 3 walls. M.

Kbird1 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 The non stucco wall is cos Alan had 2 walls set as balloon thru only , set them all to balloon thru and its ok ... he is also using you extra floor which I didn't notice it looking like a single level building.
