Thanks to everyone for all the help so far. Changing the upper/lower pitch and a few other settings, and unchecking rebuild roof automatically, has gotten the project much closer to the desired result. If anyone has a quick answer to this program notification it would be very helpful. I understand the English but not how to effectively proceed. Will be attempting to fix that after a late lunch. "Warning Changes made to roof framing defaults do not affect existing roof planes. For you changes to take effect either, rebuild the roof or edit the existing roof planes."

Will get on trying that. Thanks.

Thank you for the suggestions. The software is an extensive tool. I have/am putting in a lot of time learning to use it and expect to continue to do so. Before posting my initial question about this issue I had found and used the deck "Roof over this room" box. I spent full day following the suggestions I received from my first post and am able to create a shed roof on the addition and can even attach the shed roof to the base of the homes gable roof (With video help from Jo_Ann). What I am sure is right in front of me somewhere but I could not find out after a full day of research before posting this is. How do I make the additions shed roof, cut into / intersect /merge with, the homes gable roof about halfway up as in this sketch. Another example from a local property of what I want to do. Join the shed roof with one side of a gable roof. If you have any suggestions on doing this, or what part of the program I need to more fully research I would be most grateful. Thank you.

I reviewed the helpful suggestions and information from Solver, Grechief and Jo_Ann, but have not as yet been able to achieve the desired result. Though I have learned a lot more about the program! Thank you in advance for any direction you can offer. Specific issue: I need to build a shed roof (A), on a raised deck addition. The shed roof needs to connect into the home about halfway up the existing gable roof (B). The addition will be approximately 6 inches shorter at each end than the entire 30' length of the home, but the two roof ledges will match up. This picture from a neighborhood home is an example of what I am trying to achieve on the entire roof on a small entryway. It is a common style in the area on both front and rear patios and decks of various sizes. A picture of where I am on the project in Home Designer Pro.

If I understand properly how the forum works. I am now marking this as a solved until I can use the information provided. If I do ask another question, I will do it only when I will be at the computer and can reply for at least a few hours. Thanks to everyone who helped

Thanks to both of you. The video does look very close to what I want to do, just on another floor. I will watch and digest it then read up on manual roof planes. Then I'll give it another go tomorrow morning. At the very least I should learn enough to ask more focused questions if needs be.

Thank you, I did not realize the proper protocol was to stay active when asking a question. I will be up and watching this till about 10 pm eastern and will be on as much as possible by 10am eastern tomorrow. Hopefully signature is properly updated and on. I had searched your links from other forum answers you supplied for a couple of days with no success before joining the forum, and submitting the question. - 25 x 30 small home with full basement and small second level rooms. Gable roof with ridge going the 30 foot length. - Want to add deck on basement level in rear, with 14 x 30 four season room above on what would be the first floor. - Want addition to have a full 30' low pitch shed roof that ties into the main home about mid way up the rear side. This seems to be a fairly common design in the neighborhood. - Have been unable to properly design the roof. Attached pics from software. Thank you again.

Very new user. Apologies in advance for any information not included. Just let me know what's needed. I am using Home Designer Pro 2023. I have found the program, documentation and forum informative and extensive, but after a week of reading research and trials, I have had no luck figuring this out. Though I have come up with some amazing if impractical structures. I am trying to design a room on the second level rear of the home, which would be considered the "first floor". I am using the "deck" room to make it easy to have a different pier foundation from the existing structure. The room will extend the full length of the existing structure. The existing gable roof has an 8/12 pitch gable. The new rooms roof will need to cut into the existing roof to have any pitch at all. Once I have the simple plans done, the builder will review them with me to make changes to meet local codes and structural integrity. Thank you for any insight you can offer. main house.plan
