GroverJR Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I am building a saltbox style design but would like to have the roof line extend on the first floor as shown in the image. But, if I align the second floor wall over the first floor wall, the "extension" part of the roof. I have included a sample .plan file in case someone can give me help. Thanks! sample.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 You want the small roof section? Roofs build over rooms. Create a room -- invisible walls, open below etc, along the front wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroverJR Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 Hi, Solver and thanks for the reply. There are a few problems with this solution (I tried it already): the roof lines won't match unless I adjust the room height, even then the overhang extends beyond the roof line on the second floor, and also the floor of the "invisible front room" creates a porch-like area that I don't want. If you can make it work with the provided sample file, let me know... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroverJR Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 Close, but the overhangs look like they don't match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Don't match how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroverJR Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 LOL look at the lengths of the overhangs... obviously the top one is much shorter than the bottom one. It could be the angle of the camera I suppose, since it almost looks like the roof pitches don't match, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Give what I said above another try. Three invisible walls to form an Open Below room. Short walls set to Full Gable. Set the roof overhang to 1" and adjust the wall so it aligns with the one above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroverJR Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) Well, it is definitely getting there. I didn't think about the Open Below to handle the floor, but as you can see in the picture some siding is still showing (odd, huh?) and also when I align the overhangs the overhang over the attached garage vanishes! I've attached the sample for you to look at. Thanks again for the help! UPDATE: Ok, I changed the foundation to slab and that took care of the lower siding problem. Now if the garage overhang lined up everything would be great. sample.plan Edited September 29, 2017 by GroverJR Updating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroverJR Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 Ok, never mind... I just extended the invisible front room to include the garage as well and problem solved. Thanks for all the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
