Ande1314 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I am working on renovating a current property. I cannot get the roof to draw up correctly in the software. In the photograph the roof over the five windows is a continuation of the roof over the entire wing of the house. In my software I get a separate roof jut out over the five windows. How do I make the roof do what I need it to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ande1314 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 I have tried that and it does smooth out the roof, but I do not want the T shape. I would like it to be one long line... Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 You can make the bumpout a room, then uncheck Roof Over This Room. You will need to fill in the missing ceiling with something like a soffit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ande1314 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 When I tried the previous solution, the unroofed part looks funny...I lose the gutter etc... I have tried also going into the wall specification area, and under roof extending the overhang to 48" on the sides beside the bumpout, but that does nothing...

solver Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Make sure you change the overhang on all the walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ande1314 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 I have all of the overhangs on the wall with the 5 windows at 48". I am including the two walls that run parallel and the two that are perpendicular...and it still looks the same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Start a new plan, just one room with a bumpout. Set the 2 end walls of the main space to gable. Change the overhang setting in the walls I've shown above. Build the roof and see how it works. My guess is after trying various settings, some need to be cleared and then reset.

Ande1314 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 I did it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ande1314 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 So I made invisible rooms in the alcoves to the right and left of the bumpout. Then the roof just smoothly went over them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
