cookster Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I'm new at this. Trying to design this house with multiple shed roofs and having difficulty. Want center section of roof above the two wings, can't figure out how. And can't get the walls to extend to roof line. Any help would be appreciated. 92518.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 You need to let us know what software you are using, its exact name and version before anyone can say, with certainty, what you should do. Help us, help you, please. Thank you for sharing a copy of your plan. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookster Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 Think I have the full gable, hip with pitch, and high shed walls identified correctly. Must be doing something else wrong. Thank you. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Ann Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 You need to be a LOT more descriptive about the "look" you are trying to achieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookster Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 Thanks. I'll try. The house (viewing from the front) has a center section, which is 46' wide, with wings projecting forward on both sides. I'd like the roof over the 46' section to be higher than the wings. ( like it is over the porch in attached, but even taller and over the whole 46' ) I've tried wall breaks to no avail. Still trying. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

cookster Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 Thanks Eric. I'll give the help suggestions a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Ann Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Ditto what Eric said. You have not followed the guide rules, and you need to clean up the mess. You can NOT have a roof eave overhang set at 1/4"! The roof will not cut off the attic wall. I'm thinking that this is why your attic walls are invisible? WRONG WAY! With that being said, if this is what you are trying to do, my preferred method is this: Build a second floor (set as "BLANK" in the dialog box that appears) and set the ceiling height (which sets the roof height) that you want the roof to build above the 1st floor. Turn ON the floor reference tool, and draw each wall. Then make sure the new walls are "aligned with wall below". Set each wall roof tab (gable, high shed gable). I'm presuming that you also want this "room" set as "open below". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookster Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 Wow! Thank you for both the well deserved scolding and the recommendations for fixes! I jumped in without really doing my homework, thinking I could trial and error my way through this. Apparently I was wrong. I'll view the suggested help info. THANK YOU!
