JasonSJ Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I am trying to create what should be a simple roof to create a valley that would intersect the exterior wall 'mid wall, not at the corner. Using Wall Specification, and "Wall Break" I have one section of a wall "Full Gable Wall" and the other "Hip". I got one side (the left side) to work, but have tried several different options and can not get the right side to match having a valley/transition from Hip to Gable (see arrow). I am new to Home Designer. Thank you in advance for any advise. 2636PlansSmallOpen.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Can you also post a sketch or photo to help illustrate more what you wish as an outcome? DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution DavidJPotter Posted January 28 Solution Share Posted January 28 I looked at your file. What version of Home Designer do you have? Only if you have Pro will you be able to accomplish this roof geometry I believe. The auto roof generator is not really "automatic" but rather a mechanical routine with boundaries.

JasonSJ Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 David, just to make sure I understood, I now have "Home Designer Architectural 2022", I do not seem to have the same options to edit the roof in 3D view as you have shown. To do this will I need to upgrade to the Pro version? Can this be done with Home Designer, or would I need Chief Architect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo_Ann Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 VERY poor description of what you want the roof to look like. Maybe DJP understands what you want, but I sure don't. A better description might get you some more answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SillySally Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Just now, SillySally said: Was there an older version of Home Designer Architectural that could manually edit roofs? Also, that have the ability to create and edit floor and roof framing plans? I was using an older Home Designer software version (that was not Pro) and was able to manually edit roofs (build roof planes) and create framing plans. I just bought my own 2024 HD Architectural and have lost the abilities (mentioned above) and more with the latest version of Architectural 2024.

JasonSJ Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 I upgraded to the pro version to allow the manual roof editing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
