What is a Roof Plane?

ChiefExperts.com - Education, Resources & Support for Chief Architect Users
What is a Roof Plane? Roof planes have unique characteristics the other items in Chief don’t have. A roof plane is a 3D CAD box (plane) that can be placed in your plan anywhere you want. It can have any thickness, shape, angle and location in 3D It interacts with other roof planes automatically or by using the supplied tools. If it covers a wall it will cut off the top of the wall If it’s higher than a wall, Chief will add a wall called an “Attic” wall to meet the bottom side of the roof. Framing fills roof planes based on it’s shape & thickness.

Review of Automatic Roof Function ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `
Chief looks for all exterior walls It places a polyline on each wall called a “Baseline” The “Baseline Baseline Height Height” is set based on ceiling height next to the exterior wall If you add “Raise Off Plate” it will be that much higher It starts building the roof places up from the “Baselines” Pitch is determined by Default or the Settings in the Walls It attempts to join all of the edges together Th ’ it! That’s i!
The Automatic Function will get 0% to 100% of the roofs correct 12
