I think I know the answer to this, but wanted to check and be sure.
I have a composite roof meeting a composite wall, and I want the plywood and roofing skins of the roof composite to extend past the wall to create an overhang (which will be supported by a custom profile rafter tail object). Is it possible for some of the skins of the composite roof to extend a couple of feet beyond the edge of the framing skin of the roof?
I think I have to model the framing of the roof and the sheathing/finish as separate roofs in order to get that overhang that I want, but wanted to see if I'm missing something here.
(For the record, if I do the 2-roof workaround, my wall composite skins won't be cut by the shorter roof structure, so I have to model the wall as two separate walls as well!)
Here's a sloppy version trying it with a structural wall and a finish wall, and a structural roof and finish roof. You can see how I want the roof sheathing skins to extend past the roof framing skin. I don't have it all resolved and joining correctly here, but I can get it to work. But you can imagine it becomes very unwieldy trying to edit and to deal with doors and windows when everything is a "double" wall or "double" roof! There must be a simpler way???
