Roofs - clean up Gable to Shed intersection

Redrunner92 — Fri, 18 Sep 2020 00:02:17 GMT

Is there a tidy way to make this intersection of a gable and shed roof? I do not want the extra eave which continues under the shed roof. See the image below for details. I have attached a simplified version of the file here for further investigation. I would appreciate a detailed explanation so I may follow the steps anyone may suggest.

I like it. Your roofs have different plate heights. It's a good solution. I mean you could do this, but I wouldn't:

Regardless of what I would like to do, the client does not want different plate heights, at least not in the images for this early design stage.

Nifty. I had not used slope arrows directly beside and parallel to sketch lines with a defined slope. Thank you for showing me this.

You are the one who put the two roofs at different Plate Heights. Not me. In fact, I wouldn't have because it would have created the very condition you were trying to solve for. But, I figured there was a good reason for the over-framing. If so, then what you come up with (e.g. the fascia return under eave) was pretty nice. Pretty common too. I see it everyday.

Oh, and by the way: you are welcome.

"the client does not want different plate heights"? Well, that a nugget of information. Maybe you should have mentioned that up front. A little late now.
