Hello,

 

On the attached roof drawing, I have 2 major roofs.  Both bear on the same rear wall, with the same plate height.  Neither roof edge is perpendicular to the other roof edges.  I have tried changing the break point of the long common wall, but I could not get a break that solved the issue.  On the final model, ideally, those two rear roof share the same plane.  My questions:

 

1.  Would I be better off drawing it as one roof?  (tried, but failed...)

2. Adjusting the roof only moves the entire roof edge.  Can you adjust one corner?

3. Any other suggestions?

 

Thanks for any help or ideas...

Dave

Try including something for both Roofs to snap to, ..

 

I've placed a short 2x6 ext wall between the roofs, .. (wall is 1.125" high offset up 96", .. should have no great impact on Soft List Take-off if you use that)

 

 


.. invariably, someone will have a simpler solution.

You can do your 2 main roofs as one. You just have to make sure to attach the bubble to the porch side beam or the small wall return.

You should also be able to adjust the position of your intersection bubbles on the plan you show to the side beam or wall return. Just make sure you use Adjust to move the bubble to the required reference.

Thank you both!  Getting back into this one today, and I will try both.
