Hey there folks,
Hope everyone's getting all set for the holidays! It was great to see a lot of you at AU! :p

I have a roof gutter question. I created a generic roof for a townhome product type and am finding problems with the way gutters are created. Areas where walls turn short corners (and roofs relatively turn), the gutters are not picked up. I've attached a corner condition detail in PDF format. As a go around, I've been creating model lines in the roof plan and using these to pick up the 'host sweep' command. This is not the best way to do it. I know there must be a solution.

Pray advice!

Thank you in advance!

Try mitring the wall joint, and applying the gutter sweep to the wall, rather than the roof (appears suitable here, since the roof has no overhang over the wall).

It works! Thank you, Nancy!
