wesleygus1873 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 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. Grade Beams Forum Copy Sept 2020 As Built.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 roof planes need to match. Same baseline, pitch, fascia height etc. 20 minutes ago, wesleygus1873 said: auto attic wall sticking through the roof. Suggest you delete framing until everything is correct. 21 minutes ago, wesleygus1873 said: Also had a dormer gap at the main roof ridge break. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I deleted the rear roof plane and the front one, redrew the rear and then copy/reflect about the ridge to make the front one. Reshaped as needed and connected edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesleygus1873 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesleygus1873 Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 Morning, Just saw your post. Every issue fixed. Operator errors!! Thanks for your help. That gable break worked sweetly. I will check out the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesleygus1873 Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 Watched your video, thank you for your time. As-builts are more difficult as the fascia height is already fixed as well as valley and ridge lines and close is good enough. Really appreciate your extra effort.
