Determination of Rafter Starting Point

The starting point of the rafters is determined by choosing one of the options from left, middle, right, left and right. Rafter origin settings are located in the rafter settings dialog. Depending on the selection, the rafter preview will change simultaneously in the model.

Location of Rafter Start Point Settings

You can access it from the rafter dialog that opens when the roof to be created is selected while in the rafter command.
