Steve-O Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I am having trouble creating a roof/walls that have this profile. The back wall is much lower than the front wall. The gable ends don't seem to fill in correctly. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Any advice wholly depends upon which software title and version you actually have and use, what do you have? DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidJPotter Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Draw the roof plan on the right while in the First Floor plan view, set the pitch in the build roof dialog first, then make sure the first floor ceiling heights match your target height before creating, manually the roof plane. Only after it is drawn correctly would you then raise the ceiling of the first floor AFTER it was created. The roof plane on the Left appears to not bear exactly on the top plate of the second floor, so you may have to also manually raise that roof plane's baseline height until you obtain the geometry you desire.

Garybills Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I used Auto roofs to start then locked the pitch on the left roof and adjusted the baseline height to the desired height. Next, I did the same thing to the right roof and then selected the ridge of the right roof and hit 2 on the keyboard and selected the left ridge to reconnect the ridges. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-O Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 Thank you, gentleman. I used both of your comments to figure it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
