  1. Have a small cabin design that I can't figure out how to tweak the roof on. The main section of the cabin is set to have 10' walls all around and a 12/12 pitch (needed for best overall solar panel angle). The small pop out that holds part of a closet/pantry and bathroom needs to have walls that are only 8' tall, and the roof over that section should terminate into the side of the 11' wall, rather than being a gull wing as shown in the attached pic. I've tried various things to get that to happen, but can't find a way to split the ceiling height in the pantry and bathroom to 8' walls and get the roof to split properly. Sadly, as I have an older version of the Arch software (2018) I can't download a manual from the web site. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated. I'm also looking at the 2021 upgrade but can't find a list of differences/enhancements. I've sent that question to the support/sales email and am waiting for a reply.
  2. Thx. Applied profile change as recommended. Also found it was the Roof Planes option under Tools:Display Options. Appreciated the info...
  3. I managed to turn on the roof material surface view while looking at a framing view, and have no idea how to turn it off. So, now I see a finished roof on my frame views. Anyone know how togo back to the "normal" frame view where I just see the roof framing and not the completed roof? Running Architectural 2018 on a Mac.
