TripleD Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Using Home design Architectural 2019 I'm have difficulty inputting the roofs for an existing house. The structure was built by connecting two rectangle that have a 12 ft section that is common. attached is the file of a mock up. and the plan of the actual structure the roofs actually are a full gable on the front section both ends the back section roof is a full gable on the right end and has a dutch gable on the end with the double window, but has a small gable that is on the back side above the small window I want to take out the section of gabled roof that connect the two structures (the high section) Also is there a way to freeze the current structure, then start the remodel in the Home design architectural 2019 any help would be appreciated. farm house base.plan with rooms.plan roof view of farm house layout.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Ann Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 You might get answers if you also posted pics of the real house, showing the front and back roofs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo_Ann Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Looking at the posted pictures, it is obvious that the roof is a much shallower pitch than the plan that you posted. Also, what is the real overhang depth? Obviously, the ceiling heights in your posted plan are much higher than the real ceiling height. Ceiling height (both the house and garage), roof pitch, and overhang depth, are important in configuring the roof. The eave height of the roof depends on correct ceiling heights. You need to fix these things in the plan, then re-post the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleD Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 the roof as shown is 3/12 with 24" overhang the plan is 8/12 the roof will be modified to 8/12 with 24 "eaves actual 8' plan 9' both the actual and plans the house and garage have the same eave heights respectively. what I'm trying to do in the plan is get rid of the gable that encompasses both the from and back strures.

Jo_Ann Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 You are saying that you plan to tear off the roof and raise the ceilings to 107 5/8", and use a new roof pitch of 8/12? Your plan is using a pitch of 6/12. Does the garage floor sit lower than the rooms directly next to it? (withing the garage rectangle). I'm trying to explain to you that these settings are important, in order to get rid of that gable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleD Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 The plan with the 6/12 pitch the elevation of the top plate though out (house and garage) is the same ,rough ceiling height . Are you saying they need to be different? Can the pitch be different for the garage area than the rest or the house? The area where the large gable is located is going to be 6/12 the garage floor is the same as the rest of the house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TripleD Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 not quite as built the small connecting roof goes all the way to the back rectangle forming a gable end, then the back structure forms a dutch gable over the small connecting roof. Will HD architect 2019 allow this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I was suggesting the new design, not the as built. What are you planning for the house under the new roof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
