    Howdy Solver,

    I love how much you help people, and I've been going through your posts in this forum.

    I'm working on a fairly complicated (in my mind), two-story house in Home Designer 2027, and I'm having trouble getting some of the roof ridges, hips, and valleys to align properly, and would love to hear your thoughts on the overall.

    I've posted screenshots and details in the forum. If you have a chance, would you mind taking a look at my post and offering any suggestions?

    The quantity of youtubes you have is amazing,

    Could you recommend a few of them specifically so I can watch for some help that you've already given?

    I'd really appreciate your expertise. Thanks!

    Joe

    Hi Jo_Ann! I've been reading through your helpful posts about roof design in Home Designer.

    y-g-m-n thanks so much for the input, Since I have already started the Roof poly lines baseline function, would you recommend: 1) Delete the entire roof & polyline/baselines and start from scratch on the whole roof 2) just delete the polylines in the area I want to rework and start with new roof planes only in my problem areas 3) leave everything as is and simply start pulling existing roof planes to fit better 4) some other thing you know from experience what are your thoughts on my chimney coming up right thru the center of the top ridge? My builder commented that it's not a good idea to do that..

    marianne00, Did you figure out how to fix this? ygmn and rookie65, those are good recommendations, I'm new at the HD2026 also, and learned about this situation too, ChatGPT helps me out a lot, but not enough for the whole picture. Thanks Joe

    MadCadder and y-g-m-n thanks so much for the feedback. this roof has got so many goofy things I built into it (yeah, its my fault), I was considering deleting the either the roof and all polylines, and starting over to manually draw the roof planes, or even deleting the whole 2nd floor, reset the roof and wall defaults, and then have HD rebuild the 2nd floor and auto build the roof or just manually draw the whole roof again, The problem I've found with manually editing/drawing the roof planes is they seem to not be able to align and then leave holes. What do you guys think or recommend? thanks again for your thoughts Joe

    is 14:12 & 15:12 & 16:12 too steep for these gables and turret roof? How about that small valleys on each side of the center gable. At the blue arrows, am I asking for leaks in my roof? I need a little lift in the rear of the house to fit the windows at the top of the stairs, so I changed the slope (from the rest of the rear roof) and then raised the small gable. it creates this small piece of wall under the raised part. Please comment, I'd love to hear from some of you good folks, JoeFarmer Home Designer 2027, have ~250 hrs logged working on our own house plans

    Moosekrause, Did you ever figure this out? I have similar issues. the yellow 2x4 is a lookout that was there when I had only a gable,(Blue lines) but after I made it a hip, the outlook stayed there.

    Howdy DrGerry, I was able to print my elevations to pdf with dimensions and also sent them to Office Depot to make hard copies. you have to "send to Layout" first, then print the Layout pages. Check with Chat GPT, that thing is super helpful. or This may not help, but there is a chief architect forum at https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/. theres a lot of good folks there who may be able to help you. I'm new to all this too, only got about 200 hrs drawing my own house. Those guys have like 13,000 hrs. they are users of the CA Premier, theres lots of folks that will help for free and theres also a section of folks for hire. best o luck to ya Joe
