Woofs

[Steve_Stafford]

Attached is an image of my current puppy...the large expanse of roof is just that, a roof. Narrow low end is the slope defining. The interesting edge is a roof fascia sweep using what amounts to a gable truss turned on it's side.

Question is, the front two corners that you can't see mitre nicely while the remaining four corner does not. Should I be able to or is my profile not possible to sweep that much?

I can model an in-place roof solid to fill it in but was thinking I might not shouldn't needn't nuh uh...have to?

Added an image, the miters that work...whole fascia is all one fascia, not individuals.
Added profile

hmmm... that should work. Have you played around with the mitering options. :?:

[Steve_Stafford]

Yup...it only makes it worsererer :(

[aggockel50321]

What if you edited the roof, & took those corners & put a small chamfer on each corner, so that the facia profile would have to turn two quick turns less than 90 degrees? Would the sweep turn then?

[Steve_Stafford]

Tried and failed... :(

I don't think that will work. If you figure out a way to make it work, let me know. If you have anything that isn't a square (in all directions) corner you won't get those to miter properly. I've been wishing for better sweep joins (i.e. raked fascias where they meet level fascias.

I have a similar problem that I have discussed in anothere thread where a simple raked mitre fascia fails to mitre properly.

My project started life in an earlier version of Revit, but that doesn't seem to be the problem this time, I just think that sweep mitres are not yet as well resolved as they might be.

If the sweep is deep, it has problems at corners do to the sweep overlapping itself, this may be the problem.

[Wes Macaulay]

I would suggest that you model up a regular sweep a la in-place family... FWIW

[Steve_Stafford]

Okay...I'll try that out...
