InhabitEcoDesign Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I'm trying to draw a plan similar to the one I show here (this is just an example I found online). How do I create exposed rafter tails? I've searched all the videos, searched here on the forum and found some secondary mentions of it. Can't find anything in the reference manual. I've tried drawing the roof with no fascia or gutters, and just wind up with a hole between the roof materials and the soffit (like all the framing was erased). Any guidance would be appreciated!

InhabitEcoDesign Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 Well, that seams too easy to be true! And, once I tried it, I think it is too easy to be true. I found the "retain framing" option when I opened the roof planes. I selected and deselected everything you have done, and still I get this. is there a 3D layer that isn't turned on?

barthmv Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I had assumed that you had already built your roof framing. That needs to be done. In the Roof Plane Specification turn on the build roof framing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any way you know of to change their color or assign a material? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintagehotdog Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Thank you, and done. I get it's a different subject but seemed to go with this, but will do. Thanks again, just learning. Btw, I already had fascia set to charcoal and if I turn on the fascia it is charcoal but the rafters remain white. But rebuilding roof framing fixed it.
