Roof rafters not joining

Zendrix

Hi!

Im creating a wood structure for my roof with roof wizard. 

Everything is going ok, except for the fact that the common rafters are not joining the hip rafter on just one side. Its seems like the hip rafter is only showing up half of what it should be in widht.

What can possibly be happening? 

 

Thanks,

Rui

hey Barry,

Just tried the purlins, it makes it much cleaner and precise.

How could i now make the joint between the 2 purlins in the corner cleaner?

It seems that those purlin objects do not have any ability to alter the end angles (like you can with rafters).

The only thing you can try is Solid Element Operations (this won't affect the plan view).

Or place an actual beam instead of the purlin.
