I started working on an exterior remodel and want flush eaves. If I check "Boxed Eave" and "Flush Eave" nothing changes on the eave overhang. The only way I can make regular Box Eaves is to uncheck "Default to Overhang" and manually put in the length of the boxed eave. This leads me to think I'm have something wrong in my setup. What little I've been able to find in searching "Flush Eaves" is that there were problems with using the flush eave, but I thought the problem (bug) was corrected. I've attached the plan as it now stands. Any and all help is always much appreciated. Thank you.
Your Default Overhang is 2", try it at 18" ...... set the Box Eave options in "Edit all Roof Planes" too , if the Build Roof DBX setting doesn't get them all since you have existing Roof Planes..... you also don't need the "flat under Eave Sub-Fascia Setting" in this case AFAIK.
Eric..................Is that the way it has always been? To me that seems like a strange way of doing things when doing design work. How does one (me especially) know exactly how the design is going to be without "experimenting"?
Mick & Eric..........................Thanks for your advice. The 2" overhang was the problem. That was the setup for drawing the original as built. When I started making changes in the design I never gave it a thought about changing my original default setup settings. My first thought is that the default 2" overhang shouldn't make a difference. I don't quite know where the logic is that that would be the problem to my dilemma. To me this would be considered a BUG. I'll have to put this fix into my "memory file" . Thank you both for taking the time to help-----------much appreciated.
As mentioned earlier in this thread, I finally got my roofs to produce flush eaves. That is except for one area. On the shed dormer at the rear I have a flush eave on one side, but at the other end CA wants to produce a boxed eave. I've tried pulling both walls back at the corner where the boxed eave is and then reattaching them. I've tried two separate roof planes with one roof plane for each end of the dormer. All to no avail. I still get the flush eave on one end and a boxed eave on the other. What else is there to try. I'm guessing it has to do with the corner wall connection where I'm getting a boxed eave. I've attached the plan with the changes to the flush eaves and the one problem boxed eave on the dormer corner. Thank you.
I opened your plan I had from yest. and strangely the Flush eaves where all white like the soffit material, so I opened the Roof DBX and reset the option and they turned back into the wall material , so don't be surprised if you see that weirdness too...
I'll add to this gripe. I was just getting ready to print my plan, and what do you know...flush eave stopped working on one roof plane! Proceed to hair pulling and cursing (but quietly so no one hears). I've lost track of the # of times I've had to manually build these eaves. Now I'm past frustration and anger. I'm just going to sit here and cry for a bit!
I improvised my way through that job, thankful that only a few rafters were affected. But when the time came on another house to frame a gable roof with all four of its corners lopped off in this fashion, I decided to study the problem carefully. I ended up with five different solutions.
I was framing a new house that featured an octagonal room extending above the main roof. Unlike most octagonal roofs, which have eight roof planes coming to a point at the peak, this roof was essentially a gable, with only two roof planes meeting along a ridge. Falling eaves were located where the angled walls of the octagon intersected this roof.
The soffit is basically, any finishing material, such as wood or fiber cement, that is installed to cover the underside of your roof overhang. Soffits help protect the underside of your roof and roof deck from the elements and when properly installed, heat and embers. Soffits may be perforated or vented to help air circulate through your attic space.
Eaves are located at the down-slope edge of a sloped roof and serve as the transition between the roof and fascia/wall. Eaves, Overhangs, and Soffits panels are vulnerable to damage from wildfires. Metal panels conduct heat and can distort and allow the passage of embers and hot gases. Untreated wood panels can ignite, and vinyl panels can melt and fall away.
The vulnerability of soffits to wildfires underscores the importance of proactive measures to enhance the fire resilience of buildings. By choosing non-combustible materials, applying fire-resistant coatings, installing ember-resistant screens, and conducting regular maintenance, homeowners can significantly reduce the risk of soffit ignition during wildfires. As communities grapple with the increasing threat of wildfires, addressing these vulnerabilities becomes crucial for safeguarding lives and property in the face of this growing environmental challenge.

Eaves are designed to protect your home but can become damaged if improperly maintained. If water from rain, ice dams, or melting snow seeps through the eaves, it can cause serious problems. And because birds and insects like termites like to make their homes in eaves, they can also weaken and damage the structure. Therefore, regular cleaning and maintenance of eaves is a must to prolong their lifespan and functionality and avoid costly repairs in the future.
Eaves protect your home from the elements, but they are not immune to potential damage. Eaves are more susceptible to damage and wear and tear in places like Michigan, with freezing winters and hot, humid summers. Here are some common causes of eaves damage:
A small animal bite or a large ice dam on an eave can lead to serious problems if neglected and ignored. Water damage is among the most serious consequences of leaking if your eave is damaged and unable to redirect water properly. Here are other potential consequences of neglecting damaged eaves:
