How do I show exposed rafter tails in SoftView?
Version(s): 10 Exposed Rafter Tails involves several steps once the roof has been added. 1) Auto Stick frame the roof. Go to Draw, Framing Auto Stick Frame and click inside your roof. Framing will be added to the roof. 2) Erase the sub-fascia. This is board that is added and follows the perimeter of the roof. Do a Cleanup, Ctrl + C. This will extend the rafters to the edge of the roof and eliminate the gap that was left when the sub-fascia was removed. 3) Edit the roof edge and set Soffit to None. This will show a fascia but no soffit, thereby exposing the underside of the rafter but not the end. To expose the ends as well, set Fascia to None. 4) When you generate the 3D, make sure you select Framing from the Extraction Options menu. 5) Click Material from the Menu bar. In the Material Assignment section, click on Roof. In the Properties section, double click on the box for Framing in the Display column. click Ok, click Go.
