SeabeeMike Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) Thanks to some great help from the Forum (thanks David J Potter!!), I've lost my fear of manual roofs and, quite frankly, haven't missed Auto Roof whatsoever! I have to admit I started out making this Gable element over the porch by manually adding the wall on the second floor, building a couple roof planes & setting everything up. Only struggle was not being able to cut a "hole" in the main roof. At that point, I decided to try the Auto Floating Dormer. From what you can see, I have a 95% solution. My only challenge is that the face of the fascia on the dormer roof should continue all the way down to the main roof rather than having a small piece of eave - see example. I presumed I could manually manipulate the roof of the dormer to fix this but no luck. Easy fix, such as Explode the dormer, or more challenging? Thanks!

Explode the dormer -- drag walls as needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
