CrewChief Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Hi All Looking to create A-shape Rain Diverter over front door ( see attached RainDiverterOverDoor.jpg ) . Cannot find this function and tried the " gable " build - without success. Can you please point me in right direction ? Also attaching rendering of the home featuring a Simple Gable Roof. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrewChief Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Tried the Dormer tool but got this " Serious Error " message when I tried to eliminate " dormer walls " in order to create basic Rain Diverter over door.

Jo_Ann Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 After placing the dormer higher up on the roof, grab the move handle and carefully drag it down to the front wall. Open the dbx. The gable pitch will probably need to be set lower than the default 12". Hopefully, Suite has the option to change the eave overhang. Change it to about 24". Open the 'walls' tab in the dbx and set the height to 6" (it won't allow anything lower). Set the width, also. Your 'rain diverter' should now look just like Eric's pic.

LawB10 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Here's what it should look like if you follow Jo Ann instructions.. adjust the Gable overhang also and you may have to use a triangular shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
