aussuab Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Is there a simple way to create this style roof and dormers? I think it's called a widow's peak or hay hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawB10 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Click Build>roof>roof styles> gambrel It will give instructions on how to build that roof style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Ann Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 After you've gotten the gambrel roof, check the knowledge base for 'prow roof'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawB10 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 From the pic your upper pitch is to low set it higher-- for the Prow you build a 2nd floor and build the Prow at the peak of the roof Next you align the front wall with the 1st floor, and lower the Prow until it looks like one piece. Finally make the room open below and the interior walls invisible and adjust the eave overhang. Correction exterior walls invisible rear wall with the first floor.

Jo_Ann Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Did you build a 2nd floor (finished ceiling '0') and then create the gambrel roof on floor 2? The prow point needs to be on floor 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussuab Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 No this plan only has a ground floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Ann Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 You have added straight walls to your prow. These aren't needed unless you want them. Open each prow wall dbx. On the roof tab, first change the pitch to match the upper pitch of the gambrel roof. Then check the 'high shed' option. This should correctly place your roof. Also, open the prow 'room' dbx. Set the room as 'open below', then move to the structure tab. Uncheck 'ceiling over this room' and put a check in 'use soffit for ceiling'. Hopefully, your prow will now look good.
