solver Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I encourage you to learn the manual roof tools, but this may easily done with the auto roof. The software does not handle the lower pitch roof correctly using its default settings, so you need to change these. I lowered the pitch to 2.75 so the intersection of the lower roof and upper roof would be about even with the ridge running over the front door. This was an educated guess. I then adjusted the In From Baseline setting until the junction looked correct. Suggest you experiment a bit, entering different combinations so you understand what each does and how it affects the roof. If I were manually doing this, I would auto build the roof without the porch roof. Delete unneeded planes and reshape the main roof. Draw in the porch roof manually so it reaches to the main roof, then adjust the ridge height to match the height of the main roof where they join, letting the pitch float. Easier to do than to describe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
