casstjc Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I have a Mansard roof but the roof covers the top floor (which there is an attic too) I can't figure out how to set roof to wrap around both attic and top floor. Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casstjc Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Thanks for replying Eric -- I have '14 Essentials but can upgrade if necessary. I've included a picture of my house and attached garage. Also, I've checked through the help and couldn't get it quite right. I can't get the roof to wrap around the attic and top floor. Thanks for your time and help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solver Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I'm not clear on your problem, or the "attic and top floor". Is there attic space contained within the mansard part of the roof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casstjc Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Sorry for being unclear. I have a first floor, second floor, and an attic. The first floor has stone siding (not a problem). The second floor's siding is actually roof (very steep), and then there is an attic above that is covered with a gentle incline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casstjc Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Absolutely -- Wouldn't want to waste anyone's time without doing my research. The issue is in that help the roof sits above the floor. In my case the roof wraps around the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 You don't need to worry about the attic. It's just a space above the ceiling, not something you manually create. Follow this Knowledge Base Article, except build a mansard roof -- the general idea is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
