Suraci Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Is it possible to create this roof using Home Designer Architectural v 19.3.0? The drawing shows the rooflines in red as a rectangle bisected into two right triangle segments by the ridge. The pitches are indicated by black arrows. The image below gives one perspective of a similar roof. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Extend your walls out to form a rectangle. Set 2 walls like this. Adjust pitch via the wall specification to align the ridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suraci Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 Thank you for the quick reply. So, when the walls are returned to the original position, the roof will remain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suraci Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 Hmmm. I first set the pitches in both high wall specifications. Then I used the build roof dialog to create the roof but the pitches were changed to the default of 8". Changing the high wall pitches individually changes nothing.

Suraci Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 Thank you for that. I still can't seem to get a ridge that exactly bisects the two roof segments. I've tried changing both pitches separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Experiment with these settings to fix the problem in the upper right, then adjust the pitch to align the ridge. You can do math to calculate the pitch, or just guess like I did. Probably took 4 or 5 iterations to get close enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suraci Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 Unfortunately, Architectural 2018 only has these options in the build roof dialog: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
