Thab0425 0 Posted February 26, 2019 Just another newbie with roof layout issues. See photos. I've read numerous help topics, videos, forum threads and I just can not get it right. Existing Roof. I'm assuming that little drop down over the garage is the culprit. Because when I sampled a L-shaped plan with out the drop down roof, i was easily able to create the gable ends and have the ridge-lines all meet. Addition floor plan Addition Roof.

solver 470 Posted February 26, 2019 You want to clean up the area I've circled? Try breaking the wall at the red line. Set the back part to Hip. You should get a roof that follows the blue line. I'd place the break where the new wall joins the old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It appears I now need to look into something else. I might have inadvertently inputted the wrong info into roof pitch somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jo_Ann 145 Posted February 26, 2019 I thought you said that you wanted the roof ridges to align. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thab0425 0 Posted February 26, 2019 I stated I wanted to keep the original roof line. I didn't want to modify the front half of the garage roof, as that would be a huge hit to the budget. But thank you for taking the time to do that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
