It is easier to use Kat's method of building separate roofs (buildings) and then turning off auto rebuild. Then merge the two. There will be the same problem with the eves as in the way you linked. Either way may be better depending on what is being built. I got it as close as can be done with this software. Thank you for responding.

Thank you for the replies. Here is a simplified plan where I essentially did what Kat advised by using two walls next to each other. No matter how I manipulate it notice how the center of the roof lines never match. I really don't care about that but it is odd. Another thing, notice how the overhangs meet on the back inside corner but are off on the front side. I tried shifting walls and changing ceiling height. What I gain on one side I lose on the other. I guess this will get me as close as I need to be. It will show me and a true architect what the structure will look like. I don't think I will get a true plan out of this program. correct roof.plan

The only way I got close to having a change in the roof pitch work was to put two outside walls right next to each other. Like you said, then the overhang has issues. This makes the Suite software disappointing.

I had accidentally posted this on the chief talk side and was referred here. I believe the answer is that I would have to have the Pro version to overcome the problem. Can anyone confirm? The original question: I can't get two roof pitches if they are in line. A simple example. Draw a basic ranch, let's say 24x48 with a 10/12 roof pitch. Add a garage, same width with a 4/12 pitch (changed from default). I cannot get the roof to show both pitches, only one. If I build in a L shape or off set the walls, no problem, but if they are in line - no go. I have played with the walls, added breaks in the walls, switched to manual, and nothing seems to work. What am I blind too? Here is the link to the previous thread. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/4052-afraid-to-ask-roof-pitch/
