Hi All,

 

Have a Cape Cod style 1 1/2 story as-built, continuous perimeter footing with interior grade beam on piers, manually built roof as the partial gable and angled walls created many issues with the program.  Feel free to check the wall directives.  Eave return on partial gable to the left of garage won't build, but the right return did.  Same left area also has an auto attic wall sticking through the roof.  Checked room and wall defaults as program advised a wall change had occurred in 3D, but did not find anything.  Requesting assistance.

 

Also had a dormer gap at the main roof ridge break.  Tried extending the attic wall, did not work.  Any suggestions appreciated.

 

Thanks, Dan.

The 2 roof planes need to match. Same baseline, pitch, fascia height etc.

Suggest you delete framing until everything is correct.

Try breaking the wall and specifying Roof Cuts Wall At Bottom for the part that is missing.

I've not looked at the plan, but would start by auto building the roof, then make changes as required.

 

Post back if the above suggestions do not work.

Eric,

 

I have been fighting the program for three hours, deleting roof planes and rebuilding but I am getting nowhere.  It keeps changing the fascia elevations, removing outer layers of walls, and the black temporary points keep popping up even though I have snapped right on them.  I may have corrupted something.  Would you mind emailing me the file you corrected.  Thank you, Dan.
