second shed roof + creating attic space over closet.

[AnneWertheim]

I am using Home Designer Suite 2021. I created a shed roof building with a balcony/deck on the second floor. I'd like to put another shed roof over the deck and can't figure out how.

 

My second question: I want to have an open space above a closet. Why do I get a gap between the closet and the open attic? And how can I fix this?

Assuming that you have already set both end walls of the deck as 'gable', call for a roof over the deck.

Open the deck room dialog, and start lowering the 'finished ceiling' of the room until the roof behaves the way you want it to look.

 

For the closet, open the closet dialog, check 'shelf ceiling', and then start lowering the 'finished ceiling' until the gap goes away.
