Material Lists and Changes to framing

[trainee777 0]

I framed a garage roof and did a camera view of the framing.  In that view I changed the ridge from a 2x10 to a 1 3/4" x 9 1/2" LVL.  When I generate my material list the roof framing is listing both the 2x10 and the LVL.  What am I doing wrong?

Answers often depend on which title (Suite, Pro etc) and version (2018, 2019 etc) you are using.

 

You can help everyone by adding that info to your signature (see below for how to turn them on) by clicking on your user name at the top right of the page, click Account Settings, then Signature on the left.

 

Doing so makes it always available, and keeps others from having to hunt for it.

 

And, turn on signature display too.

You will need to post the plan file -- close the program first.

 

I don't see the problem you describe in my own test plan.

Thank you Eric.

Here is the plan I was referring to.  I deleted the wall framing, so I could just focus on the roof elements.  In my original version, I was having a similar problems with the wall framing.  There were quite few 2x4 studs and plates that seemed to be duplicated in the Material list, but did not appear in the framing camera view.  

As a side note, I have been using Chief 8.0 for a number of years and decided a few days ago purchased Home Designer Pro, so I'm feeling my way thru it.

Sorry Eric,

I attached the wrong plan.

Your plan has no framing ...

 

I built roof framing and don't see any problems.

 

Try using this to find your problem 2x10

So odd,  I went into (...clair2.plan) and to "Build Roof"  >  "Structure"> "Roof" and checked the Build roof box.  Got the framing then did a Material List and Under roof got the following:  

 

  downspout 2
bend to slope roof/wall flashing 22 ft
1 3/4" x 9 1/4" ridge board - lvl 26 ft
2" x 10" ridge board - lumber 22 ft
2" x 8" rafters - lumber 545 ft
2" x 6" rafters - lumber 129 ft
2" x 4" rafters - lumber 38 ft

Is that what you wanted?

That's what I wanted,  But I can't get that to happen when I build the roof framing.  Every time I build the roof framing I get a 2x10 - 22 ft long  PLUS the LVL - 26 ft long, in the Material list.

Use the find in plan tool i showed above to locate that 2x10.

Right click in the Materials List.

Eric,

 

Thanks so much.  I finally see the ridge.  I kept looking at the Main ridge,  never thought to look at the "awning roof",  Typically, I wouldn't call that a ridge.  

Thanks again
