AlpineGeoff Posted Tuesday at 05:19 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:19 PM Hello; So, as a carpenter, I can hand cut stacked hip roof rafters; but I can't draw a simple gable roof here. Help! The rear half of the main gable roof is OK, but the front half is raised up about a foot, can't figure it out. Wall plate heights should be the same all the way around. This seems to screw up the front garage roof too. Greatly appreciate any help. Thanks, Geoff Floor Plan Deck-Porch Roofs 10-5-25.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garybills Posted Tuesday at 09:29 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:29 PM @AlpineGeoffHey Geoff, did you draw the roof planes manually? It looks like your baselines are all in different locations and heights. They are normally on the outside of the main wall layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineGeoff Posted 13 hours ago Author Share Posted 13 hours ago Hers' a jpeg Jo_Ann. Garybills: Yes, I drew roof planes manually, auto roofs produced strange designs. How do I adjust manual roof planes to same elevation? You can see on the framing perspective jpeg, manual roof planes has added top plate framing on the front elevation. Thank you for looking at this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garybills Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago Geoff, if it was me, I'd delete the roofs and start over!!! If you use the roof planes you have drawn, you will need to edit each roof plane separately, pull the roof baseline into the wall main layer (Wood Framing), lock the pitch at 5/12 and make the roof baselines the same height, then use the join roof toot to connect the ridges together.

Garybills Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago I’m not sure how you did it but when you drew the roof planes the baselines look to be out in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no clue as to how that happened. I will follow your above suggestions; pulling the baseline to the wall framing layer. Thank you for your help!

Jo_Ann Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago My example was done using auto-rebuild roof. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
