clbpdx Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I'm stumped again on generating soffit objects that can be inserted into odd places. This time, I'd like to put a soffit above a bay window that is flush with the wall on either side of the bay window. Please see attached screen grab. Inserting a longer "regular" soffit would poke outside the building. What I'd like to do is insert a wedge shape, but there does not appear to be a way to rotate a wedge 90deg onto its side as shown in the wireframe lines that I show in red. What am I missing? Thanks!

Jo_Ann Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Use a custom countertop or a slab, sized correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clbpdx Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Aha -- that's clever! Thanks Jo_Ann! By the way, I'm thinking that this program ought to be clever enough on its own to figure out that soffits generated in the ordinary way shouldn't be poking outside of exterior walls. We shouldn't have to resort to such "hacking" to get the job done... Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppleWalker Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 You could also lower the ceiling of your bay window... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clbpdx Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Thanks AppleWalker! I probably should have built my Bay Window using the Build/Window/Bay Window/ tool such that this easier method would be available. Unfortunately I constructed and tweaked the 3 surfaces and windows manually, so the custom slab method was my only choice. I did this during my first couple days using Home Designer Architect - didn't know any better ;-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
