russewb Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I'm having trouble getting the gable on the barn style house I'm trying to design. I've attached a picture of what I'm wanting as well as my plan below. I'm using Chief Home Designer Pro 2016. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Russ Plan071516.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elovia Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 The entry gable shown in the example image will probably need to be built using manual roof plane tools in HDPro since it will intersect a gull wing roof design (i.e., the porch roof having flatter slope than the main building roof). It wasn't clear in the plans where you wanted the gable as there was no apparent opening to indicate the location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russewb Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 When I manually draw the gable it makes the entire roof line come to crazy pitches with gaps in the center. I would just like the have it centered on the front of the plan. If I am supposed to manually draw it, based on the instructions online I should draw the gable line parallel to the outside wall I would like to have a gable placed on? In this instance since I have a porch, do I draw the line on the invisible railing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russewb Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 LawB10 - I can't open that version for some reason...are you using 2017? David - that was a good help on the other issues with the roof, but can you show me how to add the gable from that picture to the front porch? Just centered along the porch will be fine.

LawB10 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Sorry about that.... Go to the site and download the trial version. Build a 2nd floor and lower the ceiling height to 20" or so, then draw a room over the front door, out to the porch and gable the front wall.
