KilgoreRemod Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Not having any luck finding my answer, was hoping for a quick answer here. I am designing an outdoor venue covered patio, no buildings attached. I have the covered area designed, and my rafter/roof framing shaped the way I want, but I am an not seeing a way to make the rafters exposed in full camera view. Final product should be full exposed framing. roof framing shows up in full perspective framing overview, but not in full perspective view. Customer wants to see final product. I am also doing tin roof over rafters, no decking, no soffits, but i do want gutters. I have unchecked all those parts in default roofs, but they still show up. I would also like to cut off the tips of the 2x12 joists where they cut through above the rafters. I have manually created the ceiling joists.

Can you send me a screen shot or tell me how to set those options, I dont see them anywhere. the camera view options I have found deal with camera angle and backlight, not what is shown in the view. I have opened each roof plane and deselected each of those options, I dont see where to get rid of the underside of the soffit coverings. Can you tell me where that is or send a screen shot? I didnt use autobuilt because I could not force them to work no matter what I tried. Can you tell me how or send a screen shot of how to make this in the drawing? I would like the final product to be a single 2x12 ceiling joist on top of the beams, with open rafters above, so an open triangle with no webbing.

Sounds like a truss.

KilgoreRemod Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 I have tried what you suggested, still does not work like I want it to. any suggestions? I have autobuilt and placed one truss, it is not showing up in the rendering. I have looked in the structure tab of the roof plane, I do not see how to remove the osb decking or the eave coverings, I am trying to create open space, exposed trusses, with tin roof visible from underneath.

KilgoreRemod Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 I have found that I was trying to display ceiling trusses instead of roof trusses, I have them showing up in the rendering now, but still have not found how to remove the osb decking or eave trim.

Look under structure -- it's a checkbox. 1 minute ago, KilgoreRemod said: remove the osb decking Look under Materials. You cannot remove, only change.

KilgoreRemod Posted December 12, 2020 Author Share Posted December 12, 2020 eave fascia is all turned off, but still shows up. tried turning it on and setting it to 0's, will not let me set to lower than 1/16". I posted a screen shot of that panel, as it is currently set up on my laptop. Can you tell me what to set it to to make the eaves dissappear?
