gspeasl Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Hi, I am having issues properly rendering the gable roof in the attached file. I am new the program and probably jumped in before fully understanding basic settings in beginning design of this barn style home. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated....Thx Kuzmic Lane.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 What's the problem -- or what's the roof supposed to look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gspeasl Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 Thx..Something like this, a full shed dormer for the two apartments on the second floor with the lower roofs for the deck and covered storage/carport. I would like the the upper gable roof to have a pitch of 8" and lower gable roofs to have a pitch of 6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I would not use the dormer tools to do this. I've not looked at the plan, but give this a try and see how far you get. Make sure Auto Rebuild Roofs is on. Use Edit>Reset To Defaults to get the roof back to a base configuration. Now set walls as required to Full Gable. Once the the roof is building mostly correctly, decide how you will change the various pitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gspeasl Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 Thank you, that helped a little but I still have issues in the middle of the house. I see where roof framing is still present where it should not be. I kinda remember toggling roof framing somewhere. I also failed to mention that I am trying to create a vaulted ceiling in both apartments other than the wall that separates the two units. Thanks again...Greg Kuzmic Lane-2.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 With Auto Roofs, roofs build over rooms. Your stairwells, for example are specified to have no roof over them. There is at least one room on each side somewhere in the interior of the structure with a similar problem. I just set all rooms to be the same.

solver Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 And for problems like this, all we need is the plan file, not a complete backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 An unrelated suggestion. Work to keep your dimensions cleaner. Here is a before and after. I've turned on the secondary dimension format so the changes are clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
