CCarpenter Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I am working with "log post 1" or a cylinder shape or "8" single log piece" any will do. I am trying to make a 45 degree brace as well as some angled pergola pieces @ +/-30 degrees. How can I place these pieces at an angle. Also, I would like to add a 1x5 trim board to the roof fascia boards, how can I do that? I could make the piece out of a shape or even use CA-001 but, again how can I place it an an angle? The shape handles don't allow for this (rotating just distorts the shape) and there is nothing in the Specification box for angles. Thanks.

Probably need to use different software like SketchUp to model them, then import. 3 hours ago, CCarpenter said: I would like to add a 1x5 trim board to the roof fascia boards, how can I do that? Search my YouTube channel for custom backsplash for some ideas. A sloped soffit might also work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCarpenter Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 Ok, thank you. Angles, other than 90 degrees, are like an inherent part of architecture & building. It would be helpful to have the ability to create and work with them in 3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the many reasons I'm now using Chief Architect and not Home Designer. I'm able to add shadow boards (extra fascia trim) and moldings to represent a drip edge, for example, as well as a frieze that may also be multiple moldings, and define my own molding profiles, all easily and automatically.

CCarpenter Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 Yeah, that looks nice. It's just Chief Architect is a more than I can justify for how I use it. However, that said, the amount of time I have spent trying to figure out workarounds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
