Fit Walls to Roof not working for me.

[Damon Design]

I've never attempted to use this tool until just now. I obviously must be doing something wrong but have a simple gable roof and the walls (10' high) all revert to a 0' height when I invoke this tool to constrain to the tops of the walls. The walls will take on the height of the wall top embedding depth parameter-which is default 0", I presume because it will work fine with that input unless you have thick walls or very steep roofs-and if I input any number to that parameter the walls take that height, but do not ever constrain to the geometry of the roof.

It seems to be such a straightforward action/tool that I am stumped by inability to do this- though that is not all that uncommon ;-)

Thanks for any help between your turkey sandwiches.

Tad, I had trouble with this, too, in the latest version. Two things to watch out for: you can fit to objects BELOW or objects ABOVE, plus you can pick the LAYER on which the horizontal objects are found. Be careful about these things, and I think it will work for you.

simple gable roof... turn off create gable end walls

put roof in a separate layer from the walls

check layer settings (Z and delta Z) for wall layer and roof layer

Apparently the roofs need to be on a different layer. That is what solved the problem.

Thanks for your suggestions.
