4.3 Adjusting Fascia Height

Estimated Completion Time: 5 minutes

Description

This module demonstrates how to use Adjust Fascia Height to ensure a consistent fascia height across 8/12 and 6/12 planes in Training Plan 3.

Objectives

• Explain how adjusting heel height for the higher sloped planes impacts fascia alignment.

• Demonstrate how to use Adjust Fascia Height.

Additional Resources

• Training Plan 3 accessible from Choose/Create Project > OPEN SAMPLE

Video Transcript:

In this video we are going to show how to adjust the fascia on our overhangs, so they match up.

Let's take a look In the 3D view. Here we can see the front overhang of the 8 12 plane is not matching up with the overhang of the 6 12 plane along the front edge of the house. So, because of this we will need to adjust the heel height of the 8 12 planes so, the fascia height will align across the 6 12 planes.

Let's edit this. To do so, we will Ctrl click to select the three garage roof planes. And from the Properties panel, we will select the Adjust fascia Height option. Using the Heel Height , Butt Cut method, select the 6 12 main front plane. Then click the Adjust option. Now let's select one of the garage planes so we can verify the heel height is set at 6 and 3 sixteenths. For consistency, we will define a  6 and 3 sixteenths heel height for all of the 8 12 planes which include the front porch. So, let's select the front porch roof planes and set the heel heights to be 0 6 3.

After making these heel height adjustments, Let's take one final look at them in 3D. Here we can see the overhangs align so we are good with our roof planes

And that's gonna do it for matching fascia. Keep in mind that you always want to adjust the heel height of the steeper slope to that of the lower slope. We hope this video has given you a better understanding of how to adjust heel heights.
