X1 When Raise Roof, Plate Ht. Changes??

[Zowie]

So I built my roof without checking "Trusses no Birds Mouth", Now I want to get rid of the Birds Mouth. I thought I just needed to raise roof by the amount of the birds mouth, but I notice when I do that and look in the Roof DBX it says my top plate ht is higher and my birds mouth still reads 1.3/4 just like it was.

I recall in past versions when you raised the roof by the bird's mouth, the birds mouth went away.

Any hints about this? I'd rebuild my roof, but I did a bunch of editing. T

Thanks,
Zowie

Zowie,

Did you rebuild your roof?

[Coffcons]

Sorry, I just noticed your last line.....

Have you built your framing? The framing can be independent from your roof and walls.

They added a new feature with the update..About the birdsmouth..
According to my roof DBX my birdsmouth is 0"

Now I have to figure this out..

This is a new feature. If it isn't behaving the way it seems to you that it should - you should send this to tech support. http://support.chiefarchitect.com

They'll either say that it's not working as design - a bug, and that they'll fix it.

Or - they'll say you've misunderstood something about it, tell you what you should do, and you'll come back here and share.

Or - they'll say you've misunderstood.... but also conclude that there's something about the controls that's confusing, and you'll have helped by pointing that out.

Zero is special in that it will behave as before. If you use 1/16 you will see that the depth is as expected. You can also use negative values to control how deep the vertical cut in the notch is.
