Roofs are not the same height

[tyrrkuuuzi]

I am doing a plan and building the roof and they are not the same height, anyone know what the what is happening?

The front, the garage and the main roof and the shed roof for the porch are not the same height.

Because they have the same slope so bigger roofs shall be higher than smaller roofs.  If you want to match height then stretch the arrow of the shorter roof to match the peak of the taller roof (may need to draw a ref plane so it is precise).

Is your question why the eaves do not align even though all the Roofs are hosted to the same Level with the same Base Offset From Level?  If so, it probably has to do with the Rafter or Truss setting under Roof Instance Properties. If you used Pick Walls to sketch your Roof boundary, you'll have this setting.  Check it out. If you have it, play around with it and you'll see what it does.

I will have to try this, I need to see if I can figure that out

[tyrrkuuuzi]

Okay maybe I did not explain it, I have a better picture in 3D

See how the two different gables and the porch roof are not the same height? do I just do an align thing with it?

Rafter or Truss?  

Do the Roofs originate from the same Level and have the same Offset from Level?

Edit Roof Sketch and select the line representing that offset eave and look at its Properties. Is there an Offset from Roof Base for that one line?

Like I do not understand why they are not the same hight

Did you read my Message 6 reply? How about my reply before that?  

[tyrrkuuuzi]

No offsets, in either place and yes set at the same level

[barthbradley]

Post the rvt file here.

Okay I was messing around it is the the different slopes making the roofs not match up (which I do not get) but how do I fix that? change the roof depth or something?

[tyrrkuuuzi]

Here it is, excuse the roughness of it (I just started and still learning lol)

Did you draw the roofs using Pick Walls?

[tyrrkuuuzi]

Yes i used pick wall, okay see this screen shot.

Both roofs are set to an 8inch thickness

The 10" dimension isn't the thickness of the roof. The thickness is a line perpendicular to the face of the roof. That is the vertical edge, which is not the same.

Okay thank you!

A Fascia Depth of 10-inches doesn't work on an 8-inch thick, 4/12 sloped roof.  

...works fine and dandy on an 8-inch thick, 13/12 sloped roof.

FWIW: If you want a 10-inch Fascia Depth on the 4/12 sloped roof, then the roof needs to be greater than 9 125/256-inches thick.
