    How to delete or edit the fascia

    I am setting the rafter depth to the minimum 1/2 " and adding skylights 4" apart to reflect a green house built with 4 x 4 posts and rafters. I deleted the gutter but can not get rid of the fascia.
    Also I would like to set the windows to 3 1/2" apart but it only lets you do 4". The windows are just single pane glass with 3/8 x 3/4 sash set between the 4 x 4.

    Try opening the window defaults and changing the minimum separation.
    Set the fascia size smaller.Or go to layers and unlock them to edit..
    I would set the rafters to the right size..

    Set the rafter size to the right size? If I use the 3 1/2 or 5 1/2 rafter depth, then with the skylight it looks like 4 x 8 or 4 x 10 rafters in the render. What I need is a window that I can inset in the roof plane to set a fixed glass.

    Don't use sky lites..
    Set roof framing to 48"OC..Edit it and change roof thickness to 2".Transform replicate down 2" glass for room material..
    Unless your going to use skylites..Set it up the way it will be built..
    Lots of options..

    Not sure how to "Transform replicate down 2" glass for room material". I will try to do it but it rings no bells right now. Can I build the walls with 4 X 4 on 48" center with no surface layer. Then set glass in it like I have?

    Creating a room about 16' X 22' as a green house. I am starting with 36" block wall with a frame of 4 x 4 ontop of that with single pane glass.

    That's a family room around here..
    I would figure out how it will be built then try and draw that..

    I'm getting your 2 post mixed up..
    This is the green house in the back..
    There are sun room parts in the library..They will fit over a deck with solid wall rails..

    Yes, this is the Green House. I am not winning I can edit default framing but I do not want a global change. I set the type to garage but ... Still not winning. I think I will let it just sit for a while, a couple days, then try anew.

    If I buy Chief Full, then I get X1 free when it comes out. Problem is I have many years of building experience, several years drafting (The old fashion way, before computers) and a couple decades as a software programmer. I know what I want but held back by the software and patients.
