Another way of showing where it's off.....In the jpg, the auto generated roof shows the overhang at 18" in one area and 18 13/16" in another. The shaded area needs to move in the -Y direction 13/16". Make sure to align the 2nd floor walls, to the walls you moved below. Then, it auto generates correctly.

The overhang is only off in that direction because the Roof Plan is 3/4" too high and it has to match the adjacent Fascia height.Cliff

Scott:
keep in mind that all of the HD products can ONLY use the auto roof gen
except for PRO
here is a starter help article on doing various roof styles via the auto gen
http://www.homedesignersoftware.com/...?faqNumber=359
there are many more complex help articles on the HD website and the chief website plus all the training videos on chief's website

Lew, do you really think I care about HD? Lew, you must be kidding, do you think someone needs to teach me about roofs? Please, somebody correct me, please. I understand roofs, please, somebody teach me where I am wrong, I will grovel at your feet, I want to know f I am wrong, I know roofs, somebody please prove that I have made an incorrect statement. No braggadocio, just trying to get to the facts folks, THAT IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT!

Interesting. I wonder how this would change if I had 9' default plate heights at first floor and 8' default plates at second floor
What about 8' default plates at first floor at first floo and 9' defaults at second floor.
What would happen if both first and second floor plate heights were at 8'
What would happen if I had 8' plates at first floor and 16' defaults at second floor....... Would I get two separate roof planes?
What about 9' default plate heights at first floor and 5' default plate heights at second floor? Would the first floor roof cover the second floor roof?
Of course all these questions are assuming auto roofs.
The point is, whenever we explore the behaviors of CA, sometimes it is helpful to take it to extremes to fully understand what is going on.D. Scott Hall (The Bridge Troll)

I agree with you Joe. Joe, I am close to beating you. My putting is pretty good, wedges have really improved, iron tee shot is 50 50, the driver a pretty consistent 220 yards. I think I am getting close to surpass your skills, maybe next week at my home course, in fact, if you beat me I will pay for the round.

Even though the roof appears to generate correctly, in the last jpg I submitted, I don't think it frames the rafters correctly, for the 2nd floor. I think Joe mentioned the garage plates would need to be raised and I believe that to be correct.

no thinking involved, simply hit the build roof button and all is well
Scott:
I guess you were joking when you said this then ???
sorry, if I mis-understood your level of experience with the auto-roof gen
some chiefers never bothered with it and went straight to manual roofs

I don't have X5 to view what you & Scott had posted. However, when I framed the roof, the rafters were too low on the 2nd Floor plate, but fit correctly over the garage. Therefore, it appeared to me that the whole roof needs to be raised, which will raise the garage plates?
