NeedAPlan Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Currently using HD Architectural 2023. Is it possible to create the roof section in the line drawings below where there is a smaller gable roof section between the garage and the main house. The main gables for the garage and main house run in opposite directions, and HD is not creating a lower roof peak and valley for that section at the back of the garage. If I need HD Pro to do this, is there a good tutorial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 For many questions, and especially for roof related ones, having your plan file to work with is helpful. Close the program before attaching, 14MB size limit so zip and/or remove extras like furniture, cars, plants and other as required. 6 hours ago, NeedAPlan said: If I need HD Pro to do this, is there a good tutorial? Pro has manual roof tools and can easily do this. It has the same automatic roof tools as Architectural which I used to create what you see below. The selected wall is set to Full Gable.

NeedAPlan Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 Thanks for the info. I did do some searching before asking, I did review the videos I could find about roofs, but couldn't see one with this scenario and didn't know how to search for it specifically. I've attached the plan file. So, you have two wall segments along that highlighted wall? A skinny one under the gable end of the gable wall on the left, and the section highlighted? That got me closer, but there is a hump in the garage roof that isn't there in real life. Not sure how to get rid of that. Sorrento.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeedAPlan Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 Thanks Eric, that was helpful. Your end result of the roofline is what I am trying to get to. I have lived in this house, but do not currently (to take specific measurements of the roof or examine the framing). I have quite a few pictures of the actual house though and not just the ink drawings. I have the original floorplan, but not the full blueprints. The wall you were moving is correct as drawn; it runs straight from the front to the back of the house. Perhaps there is another technique ... a knee wall maybe it's called or something like that ... in the attic or a zero height second floor over the garage that can be moved in without moving the whole exterior wall in and would give the same result? Thanks for the sunlight tip, I was wondering how to change the lighting. Cheers, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Taking another look at the rendering and noticed this. You may be able to do this is Architectural. In Pro it's simple using the manual roof tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeedAPlan Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 Yes, that is correct, and how it is built in real life. Sounds like I might need to upgrade if I want to do this. I might just live with the bump in the roof for now. Thanks for trying. Cheers, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
