Roof Error when Level Elevation Changes

[Clyne Curtis]

Hey All!

I am dropping a 2nd floor level 1', but when I attempt to change the elevation I get the error "Can't make footprint roof." and it cancels the operation. Hope someone can shed some light on what is causing this to happen!

Thanks

Here's a work-around:

Copy your footprint roof to the clipboard, delete it, then adjust your level. "Paste Aligned"
to same place. Then edit the roof to restore any "pick wall" constraints that may have been lost.

AJH,

That worked like a charm, thanks for the tip! Still not quite sure why I'm getting the message though...

Thanks

I've seen this when simply changing the properties of an existing roof and also when sketching a floor. Is this a bug of some sort?

Its likely to be a constraint of some sort between the roof and some element tied to an explicit height that causes the roof geometry to become invalid when the level is moved.
