    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?
