This was extremely helpful, I am quite new to this program and generally more visual so this answered all my current questions and showed me the power of manual roofs. I will definitely explore this more as I am playing with perfecting the roofline that I want. Thank you for taking the time to put this together!! Greg

I want to thank every one who has tried to help with this. (DavidJPotter, solver and Jo-Ann) Thanks again....Greg

Thank you, the image on the right side is exactly what I want. Did you create this plan? If so is it possible for you to upload it so that I can review how you accomplished this. Thanks again....Greg

I am reposting this from another thread titled Dormer Construction as that post answered some of my questions, but my problem was slightly different. That was a timely subject for what I am trying to do with exterior of my plan. I have been trying for several days now how to do this, so this was quite informative. The spin I am trying to put on this involves the gable/side walls being on the same plane. Hoping that someone can shed some additional light on this version. Attached is a plan that I played with after watching solver's video. Also included are a couple images of the barn style apartment I am trying to design. Both sides of this home would ideally have a covered storage/porch. The steeper pitch would be 8 or9 and the other would be 5 or 6. I would also like to include the post/beam elements that are shown in the first image close to the peak. Thanks for any help that may be given....Greg 470 Kusmic Lane__Dormer.plan

Sorry bout that, I will repost...Thx

Thanks "solver"! Appreciate the tip, you were correct in that the issue was with the stairwells and two small linen closets that did not have roofs.

Thank you, that helped a little but I still have issues in the middle of the house. I see where roof framing is still present where it should not be. I kinda remember toggling roof framing somewhere. I also failed to mention that I am trying to create a vaulted ceiling in both apartments other than the wall that separates the two units. Thanks again...Greg Kuzmic Lane-2.zip

Thx..Something like this, a full shed dormer for the two apartments on the second floor with the lower roofs for the deck and covered storage/carport. I would like the the upper gable roof to have a pitch of 8" and lower gable roofs to have a pitch of 6".

Hi, I am having issues properly rendering the gable roof in the attached file. I am new the program and probably jumped in before fully understanding basic settings in beginning design of this barn style home. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated....Thx Kuzmic Lane.zip
