jlliles87 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 When doing a manual roof return, is there a way to clean up the intersection of the two planes or get the return to join a plane? Anytime I'm drawing a manual return, I'm left seeing lines from both the return and main roof planes in the corners of the return. I'm not sure if I'm missing something or if this is as good as is gets on a manual return. The attached picture shows a manual return on the front, with an auto return behind it to the right.

solver Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 That's the way manual returns look. Why are you not using an auto return? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlliles87 Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 I've never gotten the auto return to complete when the gable consists of a standard exterior wall and a porch wall. Is there something that can be manipulated there to make the return complete itself? I've always assumed the lack of framing where the boxed eave meets the wall was the reason it never generates.

jlliles87 Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 Ha! I can always count on you to make me feel like an idiot. Not sure how I messed that up, but I've been needlessly doing those manual returns for several plans now. Thanks solver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlliles87 Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 Here I am again on this problem now with just a simple gable. What is keeping the return from completely generating? I checked to make sure both roof planes had the same baseline and fascia height. BAKER HOUSE.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
