Offset roof with equal pitches?

[4ndrew]

Is there a way to use automatic roof settings to allow an offset ridge with each side of the roof at equal pitches?

Like this... but as if the low roof was elevated to match the ridge.

thanks

would require a much taller wall so a little geometry calcs to figure out top plate elevation which will set the ridge...

 

Or maybe copy the roof plane on right and mirror over the other sort side.

Then manual extend walls up.

 

Roof cannot sit out in space hovering over nothing... needs a wall to rest on just like a real house.

Yes there is. Have you just forgotten how the program works?

Thanks David - actually, I need the ridge to be the same for both; I figured it out. Just need to manually enter and then lock the Ridge height, then manually enter pitch.

It makes adjusting the ridge location kinda kludgy since it doesn't seem to understand what a ridge actually is (I'm sure Chief does) but it'll work.
