10thAveCont Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I have Home Designer Pro. Is it possible to build an exterior wall at an angle (see red arrow) I am building a winter green house and want the glass side to be angled to capture as much winter sun as possible. Below is a profile of the building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you trying to do? Build a 3D model, or just develop construction drawings -- or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie65 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Might be able to draw it as a roof plane and use skylights to get the glass you want and move the framing out of the way? Just a thought, haven't tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solver Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Keith gave you the typical workaround. A steep roof plane. You might also look at sloped soffits for both the structure and glass. If you have used, or care to learn SketchUp, you could build a symbol to represent the sloped wall and import just for a visual. You will still need a wall there to define a room.
