CrewChief Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Greetings , Been working hard to figure out how to make the attached floor plan ( floorplan.jpg ) include a " simple uniform A-line Gable roof " with just 4 corners and no layers. Whether I use auto function or manual, I still get these ridges and no roof coverage in back patio or in front of garage. Also tried using the "invisible walls " trick. Can you please provide tip(s) to accomplish a basic roofline that extends over front of garage and over back patio ? Do you need the link to my plan? Thank you Home Designer Suite 2016 17.3.1. 1x64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Invisible walls will do it. Just square up the plan, make sure the rooms you create -- the space in front of the garage and the patio have roof over this room checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrewChief Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Eric, Thanks. Yes I did try the invisible walls before but no luck. Sounds like I also need to create "pseudo" rooms for patio and front of garage ? Will work on this next and will update.

solver Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Yes -- that's what the invisible walls do. The program will only place a roof over a room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawB10 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Is this what your trying to do? If so, extend the bedroom wall and then rename the created room to Porch, Hall etc: Use the Breakwall tool on the garage wall... Check your eave overhang and make it 18" to start.
