I don't think I have ever heard of a cabinet that has sides that are gables ??

Search the Knowledge Base articles for Mansard roof. But know, that Architectural is limited to (2) pitches on a roof wall.

Maybe embed a custom countertop.

Hint: "I need to remove the countertops on the cabinets". No, you don't.

Look at the level 2 floor plan. Not much more to really explain.

Not extremely hard to do, but VERY finicky.

Maybe it is the window treatment you are using, causing trouble? Delete the window treatment, and move the window into the correct position. If you open the window dialog box, in the scroll down window box you can choose "louvers".

No where, did I mention a flat ceiling. This is all a guessing game based on your images. The roof pitch, the roof wall settings, and the ceiling height settings are what is important. Posting the PLAN FILE, would help.

Try this.

I do not understand what you want, from looking at your drawings, but I think the "room within a room" is the best method to use, because it will create the framing in the attic, that you want.

I have figured out how to put a shed roof over the circular stairwell, using auto rebuild roof. 1. Delete the roof over the right half of the 2nd floor stairwell. 2. Create a 3rd floor blank plan (this will prevent interference with the existing roof). 3. Turn on floor reference display, and create a 3rd floor invisible room,shown in the image.

When you refer to the roof ridge "breaking" you need to be more clear what you are referring to. If you are meaning that raised section of the roof, , do you not remember how to adjust that?
