Best way to model this gable?

This has the timber frame on the gable. Would you model it as an in-place family or seperate. I'm a bit daunted without knowing the pro and cons. It's like using facias for ridge tiles, not my first guess and i'd probably have found a more complicated way.

If that's a true timber-framed piece than I would just do it as an in-place structural framing family. Then I would model the wall used for the "infill" and join the timber frame to the wall to clean up the overlap.

Like so: (message too short so adding characters here) :roll:

Thanks muchly. BTW, like the pork chop. I've been using a model line drawn on the roof plane to sweep an extra bit of facsia then joined. Are there any benefits between the two?

eh I dunno, other than it doesn't require any extra elements (model lines). Just place the piece on the end face of the roof. I usually place them before my fascia sweeps, then add the sweeps, then join.
