Browneye Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I decided to upgrade to pro today. Now I can't seem to get the gable roof line tool to work at all. The feeling of the tool is obviously different. I can see the gable roof line I draw and then I click the roof tool with rebuild planes, retain manually drawn roof planes, and retrain manually edited automatic roof planes checked. Then click ok and nothing happens. I've played around with how far or near I draw the gable roof line to the roof line and the wall and still nothing. I watched videos and searched for issues and find nothing. Is there some setting that may be defaulted on pro that causes this problem? I thought maybe I had a special display turned off but even in the perspective view, the gable roof line is not working. I also made a completely new plan by just building 4 walls and then the tool worked but is not working on the attached. Any help is much appreciated.

solver Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I've not looked at the plan. Why are you using the Gable/Roof Line tool? I believe the tool is exactly the same in Architectural and Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browneye Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 I need a gable roof line on the top front of the house and I thought using the tool would be easier than modifying the roof manually since I'm still learning. The tool is supposed to be the same but it just won't work on my plan now that I've upgraded to pro. If I build a simple 4 wall plan, it works so I guess I have something broken in my plan or don't understand what new features may be causing it not to work.

solver Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 The typical way of creating a gable is via a directive in a wall. Have you tried this? Sounds like video watching might be beneficial. Good getting started ones on YouTube plenty of more focused ones on the HD website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browneye Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 Thanks for your help. I was hoping there was some setting or feature I accidentally added or removed for it not to work on this plan. I thought at first it was because I had checked square eaves instead of plumb but tried to fix that and it still didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
