exposed rafter tails
I've already drawn a roof manually that has a facia. I'd like to eliminate the facia exposing plumb cut rafter tails. I'd like to leave the gutter in place. I've tried everything I can find in help and all the other options I can think of. Is there anything, short of manually redrawing the roof, that I can do to accomplish the exposed rafter tails? This is for version X2 by the way.
Thank you, Tom

Tom,
There is no trick involved; you open the Roof Specification Dialog for each roof plane and specify what you want in terms of gutter, fascia and etc.
There is no other method or via available.
Redrawing the roof planes will avail you of nothing as they will have to be specified as well ideally in Roof defaults before hand or one by one after they are drawn.

Ah, thanks David. Each one individually, eh? I'll give it a go.

If you used auto roof..set the fascia to 1/8" and rebuild the roofs.
