4hotshoez Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Is there a way in CA to create an eave like the one on the right rather than the one on the left? If so how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4hotshoez Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 I may have found a way. It is not that easy, but not too hard. Using 14/12 and 9/12 roofs and a soffit. Plumb eaves on both. Draw the 14/12 roof on the outside wall edge as normal, but with the eave pulled back to the baseline. Draw a temp wall 12" from out from the other or whatever the eave depth will be, but pull the eave back to its baseline too. Set the top of fascia height to be the same for both roofs. The 14/12 roof and its baseline may need to move out 2 1/2" Join the roofs to get them aligned, then move the 14/12 roof edge back to its base line For the roof soffit, use a cabinet soffit to be the same height of the roof fascia. In Standard view you will not see any lines, but vector view(as shown) is not so clean. Elevations may need to be modified to look right. Anyone have a simpler way?

Alaskan_Son Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Is it mainly the facia that you are having a hard time with? Or are you looking for some specific framing details as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4hotshoez Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 You can see the drawing in my first attachment. The gable comes down to the eave with a dickey roof, Chief wants to make a parallel fascia to follow each roof as shown on the left detail, but I want the fascia at the base of the gable to flare out so the so the bottom for the steeper roof extends to the bottom of the soffit where the wall connects. While the top of the shallower roof will extend to the top of the fascia. As shown on the right detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I would just remove the automatically created facia and replace with a polyline solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4hotshoez Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 I did not know that was possible. Where might I learn how to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I did not know that was possible. Where might I learn how to do that? I'll try to make you a quick video if I can find a few minutes this afternoon. Maybe post me a quick plan with just the basic dual pitch roof set up like you want it so I have something to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg_NY61 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Todd, where did you see a roof like this? Are you trying to match existing roof on remodeling or this a new construction and they want it done this way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
