I v got 3/4 inch walls and im ready to set in the roof spars, now in the future when I put the roof underlayment on (1/8" luan) is the roof usualy put on over the 3/4 inch walls to keep the radius or in between the walls?

The roof sets on top of the 3/4" walls.

You can also see that in the Generic Benroy plans, up there in the top line of the menus.

I have 3/4" walls and I put the spars between the walls and used 1X2" spacers between each spar,then I sheeted the interior ceiling with 1/8th luan and sheeted the roof with 1/8th luan and ran it over the edged of the 3/4" walls.
I did end up insulating the interior walls with 1/2" foam and another layer of 1/8th luan.

The top skin does...

Yes, I looked at my wording, and didn't think it was very clear either... :oops:

Here to help a little bit, is a picture prior to the installation of the top skin. The spars are flush with the side walls. ;)

The top skin then covers the spars, side walls, etc...
