Thanks,

Mike

As far as I'm aware they are always 2" x 4"s. To test it, try a seat cut of 3.5" and one of 5.5" and see the difference.

I agree on the 2x4's as they never change.  Selfishly I wish that was an option of either 2x4 or 2x6.  We have some code officials that like to see the seat cover the plate if possible.  I go back and forth sometimes "dry fitting" on the drawing then jumping back to the roof options to make the adjustments.

 

Thanks Daniel and Keith

The Roof Properties dialog box in Version 2018 show the width of the wall that the roof edge sits on. Version 206 and earlier always showed a 2x4 wall.
