Rookie65 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Hi all, I can't seem to be able to figure out how to get a soffit angled to fit under the 2 peaks on the right front of the attached image. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlightDeck Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Hi Keith, it looks okay to me. Something is missing? Can you better explain what you want to add? A photo might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie65 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 I need to get a second layer of rake trim below the existing one. It will be the 8" which automatically forms when you build the roof & trim. I need a secondary set of trim beneath that in a 6" for a total of 14" rake trim. .I hope that explains it better?

FlightDeck Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Yeah without a photo or something I'm really not understanding what you want to do. You want to increase the roof overhang beyond the wall another 8"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCortes Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Post a photo and circle the area your referencing, Also attach a copy of the plan so you can be further assisted. Make sure your plan is closed on your computer before you post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlightDeck Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Okay underatanding a little better now. After placing a soffit you can check "Sloped Soffit" in its properties to make it go up/down inclines. Maybe that helps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie65 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Thank you. I have been trying w/the sloped soffits & I can't seem to get it to make sense. I tried to understand the reference manual to no avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Place a soffit under the roof soffit -- not close, just in the area. Take an elevation view. Open the soffit and check Sloped Soffit. You will likely need to rotate it in plan view to get the slope going in the correct direction. Back in elevation, resize it -- no need to be exact yet. Now open it and check Place Under Roof. Back in elevation, it should now match the slope of the roof, and you can resize it to its final dimensions. Copy it, reflect about the center of the gable to get the other side. Copy both, paste to the other gable. Adjust as needed. Sample plan attached. ss.plan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
