GlasgowGrip Posted Wednesday at 11:39 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:39 PM I have a plan built in HD, but the automatic roof does not generate the way I need it. Please see the attachment for the desired end result. The roof on the left-hand half of the house generates correctly, and I also can get the gable roof at the front of the garage. But how do I go about forcing HD to generate the gable all the way to the rear of the garage and also force the location of the gable on the right-hand side of the house toward the rear of the house? Thanks in advance! 103MiasElevations.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y-g-m-n Posted yesterday at 07:37 AM Share Posted yesterday at 07:37 AM need picture of what HD is is giving you now. Search Gable Roof in the help as there is a gable line you can draw parallel to roof edge to denote where it should create gables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlasgowGrip Posted yesterday at 09:54 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 09:54 PM Tried to generate pictures of what HD is doing now, please see attached. A lot of it is correct but no idea how to get the roof lines over the rear part of the garage to behave. Maybe there is a tutorial or a video, but when I search nothing seems to cover a scenario like this. Although I'm sure I don't know the correct search terms to use...

The front plane of the gable on the right extends farther forward and meets the garage roof down lower and towards the front of the garage.

Jo_Ann Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago I give up. This website will NOT allow me to upload or copy/paste an image that will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlasgowGrip Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago @Jo_Ann: Ah hah, so what you are saying is create a "dummy room" over the garage, and set the front wall to a ceiling height of "0", yes? I will give that a whirl and see what I can get it to do. Thanks for your efforts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlasgowGrip Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago @Jo_Ann So far I can't even duplicate the partial success that you had. I extended the second floor over the garage, creating an "attic room" with a ceiling height of "0", but no joy with the roof. I'm starting to think it will require features that are not available in HD Arch. Also, did you do something special to keep the hip roof over the "bumpout" in the back of the house to not extend all the way to the top ridge? I need it the way you showed it but mine is not behaving that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Ann Posted 50 minutes ago Share Posted 50 minutes ago Do you think the image I posted, (finally allowed), would show that result, if it was not possible in HDA? I don't know what the back bump-out roof is supposed to look like. Your images with a black roof show NO detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
