Shaymultimedia Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 New user. Designing dormer windows that are flush with the lower wall. Why do the roof eaves continue in front of the window? Surely they should stop when the eaves meet the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Ann Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 It's because you probably used an "auto dormer". You need to add a smaller, complete room (with a normal height ceiling) connected to the front exterior wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Search the forum and my YouTube channel for wall dormer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaymultimedia Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share Posted February 15, 2022 It was an auto floating dormer. Did you see the image I posted? I'm using HD Pro 2022. I've spent about 15 hours studying Home Designer Pro videos since Friday trying to figure out this one problem, but none of the videos touch on this specific issue. Pulling what's left of my hair out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaymultimedia Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share Posted February 15, 2022 Then what is the point of this forum, if people should just learn the software rather than ask questions? I don't think that HD Pro is worth learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaymultimedia Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share Posted February 15, 2022 I'm not changing the room, I'm happy with my current room. HD Pro is very unforgiving when one attempts major changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie65 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I guess I'm struggling with why you got the program if you didn't intend to learn it? It's an incredible design tool and well worth the investment of time to learn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garybills Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Is this what your trying to accomplish? I used HDP 2021 and cut the main roof on each side of dormer and moved middle section in front of Dormer back against the wall. That will turn off your auto build roof if you have it on.
