Hi folks,

I've been wrestling with this for hours, and I cannot seem to duplicate the exact type of roof/second floor seen in the picture attached. I can get the gambrel roof by defining the roof on the first floor walls, specifying a pitch of about 38 in 12 and 5 in 12, but just can't figure out how to get the second pitch to overhang like shown, with inset windows. Note that the 2nd floor area is exactly the same as the first.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!

What is your overhand set to?

 

HOw was it built? extending 2nd floor joists or some sort of Look-outs that extend out to catch roof weight and loads?

 

Could make 2nd storey room on each side that has Zero Height and make roof from it.

 

What does HELP screen say as they have Gambrel examples.
