mmills Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I am definitely not a pro Chief Architect but do alright. Am trying to figure out a roof problem. I have a basic rectangular first floor plan. I need to split it in half with the left half remaining 1 story with 4/12 gable roof. The right side would have a second story wall on the back side of the house with a 4/12 pitch but the front of the roof would be a 12/12 that continues all the way down to the first floor wall height. I have tried several different ways to do this with no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmills Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 This shows my second floor overlaid on the first. The second floor roof is mostly correct. The first floor has the correct pitch on the back 4/12 but I cannot get it to put a 4/12 on the front of the first floor. Tried a wall break.

mmills Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 Thanks for the info about the signature line also. I think I got that taken care of now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Ann Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Not really sure about what you want it to look like, just from your description. Is it supposed to look like this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmills Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 Jo_Ann, You definitely got the first floor right. How? The second floor is supposed to be a 4/12 on the back side with 12/12 on the 2 ends of the second floor and a 3/12 shed dormer look in the middle. In the picture, the far end and middle section of the second floor are correct but the end closest to you should be like the other end. Extend all the way to the front wall.

Jo_Ann Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I don't understand what you want. If this is an existing house, now would be a good time to post a pic of the real house, clearly showing the 2nd floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmills Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 This is as close as I could get it to what I am after. The first floor is existing. The roof on basically the left side of the house is existing and will remain. The roof on the right side will be removed and add a second floor on approximately the back 2/3 of the house plus the shed dormer area sticking out to the existing front wall. There would be attic space to the left and right of the shed dormer. I had to separate the two sides to get the look I was after. When I join them together it goes back to the original look I posted.

Jo_Ann Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Do not post pdf's. Post a jpg. Uploading your plan FILE would help, so that someone trying to help does not have to try to replicate the plan, to get a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawB10 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Jo_Ann, Suite can open and edit Architectural plans, You have HDA 2018 the OP has HDS 2020. No need to use the trial version of Suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Ann Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 LawB10, The plan was done in Suite 2020, and HDA 2018 will NOT open this plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawB10 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Jo_Ann, I know that, why not just download the trial version of Premier, it does everything the other products do. Try this, open a plan in the trial version, use the snipping tool, paste it to HDA work your magic and then upload the finished plan. That way you can see how it was done.
