      Guys, I need some help. How do I get the spacing correct on both sides of an arch for my rafters to sit? Right now, I am using 4x4's as rafters and looking to get a spacing of 10" between.

      I want it to be the same on both ends. Right now I am using the path to copy plugin, but am willing to use anything that will work.

      Here is the arch:

      Here is the left side, where is sits flush against the end:

      Here is the right side where it is off a couple of inches:

      I am not looking for someone to fix this for me, I want to know how.

      Thanks for looking!

        do you want to add 2" to your arch or subtract the 2" from your spacing?

          My "guess" is that the copy is using the origin of the component.

            Hi Windknot,

            It seems to be a bug in the tool. As early as the second Rafter starts with an offset And the displacement is increasing to the end point. The dimensions shown are in order. But in the magnification you can see the offset. The only solution i see is to move the rafter manually to the correct point.

              Thank you! That is why I am losing out on my spacing. I double checked my math and everything should have been hitting perfectly. Thank you! 👍
