It's going to place the rafters at the bottom of the composite.

Roofmaker will place the roof timbers on the bottom surface of your roof.
If you allow a cavity in the composite like Rick does then it will all work well.
It would be nice to have a vertical offset built into the wizzard maybe instead of moving everything after it is placed.
The other option is to just copy the roof surface down to the level you want then delete or hide it.

I'm guessing you only model to top skin of your roof (I do the same).

You must have been reading my mind. I tried doing the composite thing with a cavity thinking the cavity wouldn't show. It did even though I checked the "hide" box in the dialog.
This workaround will work for me. Thanks.
