BigJwt Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 I'm trying to do a gambrel roof on a two story with an 8' second floor in HD Suite. I don't care what I do I can't an upper pitch of 6-12 my lower pitch is 20-12 and it goes to a 20-12all the way to the top. I down loaded trial HD pro same thing also I guess you can't do a gambrel.. s4.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 How you set up to create a gambrel roof design is laid out in detail in the "Build Roof" dialog - "Roof Styles" tab, take a look. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJwt Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share Posted March 6, 2022 David Jefferson Potter I went through all those steps in both HD suite and pro thank you for your reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Ann Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 I don't even understand why DJP would post a video for you to watch, that only shows manual roof planes being used. You said you have Suite, which does not have manual roof planes. You could have looked in the Knowledge Base for "Gambrel Roof". The 1st thing you need to do, is open the roof icon and change the eave overhang to at least 2". (1/4" is not acceptable). In your posted plan, only the 2 hip walls on floor 1 need to change. On the roof tab of the wall, the 1st pitch is set to 20". The upper pitch should be set to 6". If you want a totally flat ceiling on floor 2, the "in from baseline" should be set to 64". And as Solver asked, please delete your thread in Tips & Techniques. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
