manual roof

[ChiefUserTom7]

I'm fairly new to Home Designer Pro 2018 and have played around with the manual roof build.  I'm very frustrated in that the technique seems rather simple, but when I attempt to place the roof planes along the horizontal wall it puts the gable end on the front wall rather than the ends.  In the tutorials, it doesn't seem to work that way, but I haven't been able to figure this out.  I would appreciate help.  I'm sure it's a simple fix, but I haven't been able to determine what it is.  Also, I need some help in extending the roof over a front porch.  The roof is a gull wing roof.

 

Thanks

Watch the manual roof videos on YouTube.

 

Remember, roof planes are always drawn up slope. Draw a rectangular structure. Draw a roof plane. Look at it in a camera view and see what it looks like.

Why is the roof plane showing up on the short axis of the house rather than the long axis where I drew the planes?

You will need to post images and or the plan so others may understand.
