    Default Rafter Family

    I have this rafter family that I modified from the dimensional lumber family out of revit. I added some voids in there for plumb cuts and an undercut out at the tail. I won't worry about the seat cut...

    i can't get the 'undercut depth' dimension references in the right place. I want the reference line for the undercut depth to lock to the top of the plumb cut on the back end of the rafter. Notice I have a formula for the undercut depth to equal a length based off of the depth of the member itself. I cannot get the depth of the rafter itself, and the pitch and the undercut depth to all flex together. Could someone help me with this one. THanks.

    Default Re: Rafter Family

    I might have bigger problems than that....when loaded, the back part of the rafter containing the under cut shows up cut horizontally, not on the plumb, like the head. It's set up in the family the way I would like it, so it must be something to do with the type of family or the ref level or something. don't know.
