pil03001 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Please see attached. I built gable end trusses with attic space with knee walls. Unfortunately the exterior walls extend up past the 8/12pitch gable walls. Any insight would be appreciated. 2016 sotware Paul Screen Shot 2015-05-04 at 9.14.54 PM.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 You might post the plan. The roof should cut the walls. Make sure the gable end attic wall is set to "Attic Wall". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 yep post the plan , and like Eric my guess is Attic wall maybe not set on the gable ends. you can use the Snipping Tool to take picks of problems , no need to print to PDF , see 2nd link in my Sig . if needed for a how to post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pil03001 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Attached is the plan. I did not see an option for "attic wall" thus i choose knee high wall. Thanks! detached garage.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 You need to increase the gable roof overhang up from 1/4" as I suspected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Overhangs want to be 2 1/4 minimum +/- so the siding will tuck up behind them , though I personally like mor to protect the building more. you have some other issues too -- instead of building a monolithic slab ( build>Floor>foundation) for you garage floor you have concrete slabs , and one is floating 12" above the floor which you can see through the siding, delete them and build the foundation. -- you have designated the upper floor as "Attic" that is why you can see the floor sticking through the roof in several spots , make the area inside the knee walls a Bedroom / office or unspecified even. The two areas outside the knee walls should be designated Attic though to clean things up. -- Fascia on the Dormer was too small usually fascia is one size larger than the rafters so you have room for the soffit, and I adjusted the auto windo which are never the real size eg 4'x4' works nicely. -- Is your garage really 12' 8" tall? , just wanted to check.... also your garage doors are 10'x10' which is an unusual size..... unless this is a Mechanic's Shop or something? I'll attach the doctored plan below , but not sure you can open it... detached garage.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pil03001 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Thank you both for your input! The garage has the 12.5' ceilings to accomadate a lift and and 10'x10' doors so I can fit anything in the future (boat, trailer, lifted truck etc). Is there a way to adjust the overhang on individual walls? I attempted ot by selecting the wall-open object-roof-and adjusted the overhang, but nothing changed in the 3d view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 See the build roof dialog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 don't know what title you have but you need to build the roof if auto roofs is off to change the overhang either via the build roof dialog as Eric showed or you can change the overhang on individual walls in each Wall's DBX on the roof tab( see pic) then rebuild the roof if auto roof is off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
