Yes, edit the individual sketch for that specific rafter base extrusion. Any changes in the sketch will affect any rafters cloned from that base.OverkillTASF wrote: ↑Sun Jan 31, 2021 2:41 am But if you want to make the rafter longer you have to go edit the sketch right? Man I'd love to just be able to be able to say this is a 2x4, 14' long, and the end is cut at an angle like "this".
My problem was I needed a step down in size from 240mm to 90mm and the angled cut on the end. You're only after the angled cut at the lower rafter end. I too resisted this method as repetitively tedious but in the end I just didn't see an alternative way to show stepped lower rafter ends with angled cuts for the fascia board/gutter support. Yes, it would be nice to be able to cut any member at any angle and recalculate the size/volume/data for the cut structural member.
The next problem you'll run into is when a quantity survey of the individual material your truss members or rafters is required, the cloned items now have no size/volume/area data to read. You'll be doing a manual survey. (An aside, I leave the ends of raked studs square without cutting the ends to the top plate rake angle so that I can readily extract the length data for a quantity survey in the future. Not technically correct but I can live with slight overlaps on stud rakes / plates on my drawings.)
