Select the roof plane, press 3 (shortcut to break), and click the roof plane edge on one side of the dormer, and again on the other side. You now have a line with 3 segments. Select the center one, grab the move handle and drag it over the dormer. Note the Wall Break tool is only used for walls, the break tool found in the Edit Toolbar is used for everything else.

The numbers work for me. The triangle is the 4' 3", 6' 5", 92" sides.

I can't follow what the problem is. I will say the tape measure tool is not the correct tool for the job. It's fine for quick, but not necessarily accurate measurements. When needing accuracy, I create a CAD detail -- something you cannot do. You can use CAD lines carefully positioned and then one of the other measuring tools to get accurate measurements.

What you want to do is an unnatural condition for the program. Its roof generator is programmed to not do what you want. You are wanting a roof slope to dead end into a wall. This is where having manual roof tools helps, as you can draw in whatever shape you want. I'm not sure how to override the default behavior, but I'll think about it.

? Remember roofs build over rooms. You raise or lower the ceiling to raise or lower the roof.

This?

Taken from another thread. There are several ways of doing this. The simple way using auto rebuild roofs is to add a 2nd floor -- think of it as the attic, but don't set the room type to Attic or you won't get a roof over it. This complicates the model because you then need to change things to make the structure accurate. Draw in another floor, manipulate the ceiling height to get the roof where you want it.

You could use a Pony Wall for the 1st floor exterior walls. The lower part is stone, the upper siding.

You will find that turning off the display of all the extra items -- plants, furniture etc will make working on the model faster and easier. Remove the Upper Pitch setting from the garage gable wall and change the pitch on the right side wall from 8 to 3.

Once you get the frame like you want it, select all the pieces, right click and choose Make Architectural Block. This will group all the parts together so they may be moved as one. Read up on the Transform Replicate tool. Very powerful tool for moving things. Also, Point-to-Point Move may help. You could use a soffit for the glass too. And if you know the size, it might help to do this outside the bath. Block everything together and then move into position.

You could use soffits. A bit tedious, but doable.

How about posting the plan file. Close it first. Zip it if you can.

The only thing that should be checked on the Roof Panel for the garage end wall is Full Gable. It looks like you might have Upper Pitch checked.

Start a new plan, just one room with a bumpout. Set the 2 end walls of the main space to gable. Change the overhang setting in the walls I've shown above. Build the roof and see how it works. My guess is after trying various settings, some need to be cleared and then reset.

Make sure you change the overhang on all the walls.

You can make the bumpout a room, then uncheck Roof Over This Room. You will need to fill in the missing ceiling with something like a soffit.

See if this gets you started.

Wish I had an answer, because I've noticed the same. Have you downloaded the Benjamin Moore and Behr catalogs. You will never get an accurate paint color representation on a computer, so I just pick a color that looks like what I want, and then choose the actual paint.

Agree with Jo Ann. I'd use slabs. Do you have a Hole in Slab tool?

Looks OK to me. See this article https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/article/KB-00897/troubleshooting-3d-display-problems.html

Took longer to change the finishes, add doors and windows etc, than to draw the structure. I built 2 floors, and auto built a roof at the lower pitch. Pulled those roof panes back, drew in steeper roof planes off the first floor walls manually. Added return walls to the 2nd floor, pulled the roof over the "dormer".

On a PC you would uninstall an application, not simply move it to the trash. Not sure on a Mac.

You have referenced a Chief Architect article. If you are using one of the Home Designer titles, you may not be able to do this. If you are using Chief Premier, you are in the wrong forum -- see https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/ I'm unfamiliar with that type of construction, but assume the bond beam height will dictate the dimension of the lower wall. It would also depend on the ceiling and roof structures and how they connect with the wall.

If the 2nd floor is finished, it's not an attic. Make it a true second floor. I would not call that a dormer, and once you have a 2nd floor, should be easy to create manually.

Worked fine for me, but I'm using a 2018 version. My guess is that symbol was made in the latest version of SketchUp which is not supported in Pro 2017.
