Fascia Molding Corners

[Joe Carrick]

Hi Jerry,

For Square Cut Eaves such as the pic you posted, I have used another technique that works but it's still a lot more work that it should be.

1. Create a 3D Symbol consisting of a thin solid (1/4" thick) stacked on top of a thicker one (about 3" thick). The thin one gets the roofing material and the thicker one is the fascia material. I use the options "Sits On Roof" & "Flush Mounted" with an offset value of -3.125" so that the top surface is 1/8" above the actual roof surface.

2. I then place this (put it on a special custom layer so you can turn it off in plan and on in 3D) and stretch it so that the edges project just past the eaves and gable ends. Note that the Gable Ends are easy but the Eave projection is variable based on the roof slope - It seems that the 2D Block is not stretched to match the slope direction (It would be nice if CA would fix this.

IAE, you can get a pretty close approximation using this method.
