Everything is symmetric, but the roof.

    Hi.


    This one I have a hard time to figure out why. I started to work on the walls under the roof, when I found that there was something that was not symmetric. Everything is symmetric - the roof outlines are symmetric related to the outside walls, same overhang at both sides, same roof slope etc. But the ridge of the roof is shifted 30 mm from the centerline of the house.


    Can anybody see why??

    Can you see my assisting geometry?? When I draw lines - the center line of the house and the line in center of roof calculation these lies appr. 30 mm away from the ridge line of roof calculation??

    I tried to use recalculate, with no better result. I'll try again tomorrow after the computer have been restarted. I don't think I get more time to work today.

    The problem comes from the eves height of house contour line 4. This height is wrong to built one roof face with the lines 2 and 6.
    Just select the line 4 and enter line "2" as reference side. Then the eves height is calculated automatically relative to side 2.

    Really? - I did not know that function / feature. I have allways used a "manual" solution in such cases. But of course it is not totally exactly, but it have worked fine untill now. That I have to try out. :smiling_face:

    You're right! :smiling_face: I just tried it out and now the roof ridge line is on top of my assisting geometry that illustrates the centerline of the house... :smiling_face:
