    Why is this so hard

    I am drawing a simple home. I hope I am found to be stupid once again and this is just a simple fix. I have a file about 960 KB that I need someone to look at and give me a step by step fix. It is very simple, but the roof in chief and I can not seem to get along. This is so simple that most of you will laugh when you see it. Is the file too large to share on Chieftalk?

    Any help will be appreciated.

    It only happens when a deck has no ceiling. Maybe somebody has a better idea.

    Thanks,

    That fix all the problems. Pretty neat how just a check in a box can change so much.

    Thanks again for all the help

    You may have to draw the missing rake wall manually on the attic level. Jintu has a point in that turning on the ceiling on via the structure tab might bring it back in if you currently have it unchecked from the dialog box for the deck (decks by default have no ceilings or roofs if the room is named "Deck").

    Are you saying you want a gable perpendicular to the gable you already have but just centered on the covered deck? Is so just enter that order in the
    wall dialog of the outboard wall of the covered deck and it will then build one, Let me know id I guessed right.
