Roof rafters not joining

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

Also, on the same topic:

I am modelling an existing roof where the rafters i show in the picture need to stop against the hip rafter. Is there any 3d operation in order to "slice" my cross-rafters shown in the picture?

I tried to use the "split" tool, but at the end of the operation the rafter stays the same.

 

Thanks,

thnaks. im having same issues, will try to solve and let know then

Because they are objects and not beams, they will not trim automatically.

You will have to stretch the lengths of those purlins and mitre the ends.

I just tried the roof wizard quickly in version 28 and it worked fine for me.

It seems only one of your hips is affected.

Did it come out this way from the wizard, or did you accidentally change it?

Hi barry.

 

It came out of the wizard like that. After i could not find a solution i created a hip rafter only for that hip and placed the same values as a workaround, but its weird, it was showing 8cm width, but only showing like 4cm width in plan and 3d.

 

Regarding the other issue, the beam was created as a trimmer from the "roof extras" menu, so its not a random object, but a specific roof object (trimmer). When you say  "mitre", what do you mean by that? i tried "split", i tried "trim", i tried SOE, but nothing could stop my trimmer at an angle.

 

Thanks,
