Need help creating this dormer....

[jlliles87]

I have been wrestling with this style dormer for a while now and cannot figure it out it is on a 1.5 story house and there is only attic space where this dormer is located. Any help is much appreciated. I am trying to create the dormers featured in the pictures below.

Here is a You Tube video of me going over the steps necessary to create a shed dormer in Pro 2016:

There is only one dormer shown in the 3 images -- a small shed dormer in the first picture.

 

Are you referring to the gables?

Something like this?

[jlliles87]

Yep the gables on the front. Sorry, in Alabama dormers are pretty loosely defined.

Solver, that is exactly what Im looking for. Care to elaborate on that for me?

I'm sure these could be done with Auto Build Roofs on. I'd start by building a blank 2nd floor with a 0" height. Draw in rooms as needed, and set the front wall to full gable.

 

But these are also easy to do manually if you go step by step, and good practice.

 

I don't do video like DJP, but these images should get you started.

Here is the plan done using a second floor.
