Wall Framing

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 13:26:46 GMT

Can anyone explain why parts of the wall frame still show above the roof? I used SEO to to trim the wall itself but that didn't work with the frame so I used the trim to roof command. I set wall top to highest point.

It looks like a problem in the framing add-on. If SEO doesn't work I'm not sure what would fix it. If all you need are sections and elevations, you can cover the unwanted bits with white fills.

Hello Doug,
I tried to reproduce this error with trim to roof with the
wall framing object but could not.
Is the reason you are not using the sloped top plate
controls in the framing object because you want
only a single top plate ?
I used these controls to frame a wall that had been
trimmed to roof and it worked fine except, of course,
the top plates were double.

Didn't see the sloped top plate option!! I'll check it out.

I used the sloped top plate and it worked like a charm! I also realized that the reason we got the double plates is because of the "Load Bearing" "Non Load Bearing" Option. Using "Non......." gives you a single plate. Thanks for the help! I'll Be Back.
