 Eric, First time posting wasnt sure how much info to write down. I have it all automatic but it would give me a total different roof.Is there anyway you can share the file where you made it look like the picture.

Is there a way to add the wood post like in the picture?

Look under "Build - Framing - Post" or you can just create a custom slab and then configure it to emulate a post, heck you can even use a "Soffit" (under cabinet tools) to emulate a post.

 

Relative to building "Auto Build Roofs" the results are based upon how you programmed it to come out, if it is "wrong" your settings are wrong.

Rosbelgtz73, were you able to get the roof the way you want it?

[rosbelgtz73]

I have not been able to. I’ve tried for several hours and I can’t get it. I just need to read thru more tutorials and keep trying I guess.

I’ve gone thru the settings and I still haven’t figured out what I have wrong

I have not. I just bought the program so I’m still going thru the learning stage. That’s why I was wondering if you could share the file so I can go thru the options and see where I went wrong. I create a regular house and the basic roof planes. Where I have an issue Is when I have different height roof planes plus different wall heights. Let me know if you can share it would mean a lot for me. Thanks for you interest in helping out.

Thanks I will go through the videos. One more question I had was how do you remove the xs that are on the drawing. I know I added them through preferences  but when I deselected the option they didn’t come off.

Watch the video where part of it was removing the "current points"
