MichaelChiefUser Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Hi guys! I am having trouble with roofs, this is what I always have had difficulty with in the past with these types of programs I know it is me not the software. Can you please give me some help I am going nuts. I started a new plan and then ran into another roof issue, yikes! I wanted to make the roof straight across on this first plan, after adding a garage on the end of the home for the client. But I could not for the life of me figure out why it will not make it straight. Then I made another plan, scratching the first one, and I can't get the gables to show up as full gable ends on the garage and left side of the house. Please help! Thank you in advance!

DavidJPotter Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 We need to know what software you are using, a picture or sketch of what you wish the roof to look like and ideally a copy of your .plan file. A rule of thumb for roof geometry is and it is locked to the geometry of your floor plan and its ceiling heights. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y-g-m-n Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 So you want the RIDGE to be one long continuous over entire width of house? OR you just want gable over garage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelChiefUser Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 Thank you guys for reaching back out. I am using the latest Home Architect Pro 2024. I was very excited to hear from DJP...he posted a lot on topics I read before I purchased this software last month! (I tried to upload you guys the plan file but it is 14.1mb) I do apologize for putting this in the wrong location. YGMN, I want both:) On the first image I was wanting one ridge, on the second, I was wanting gables as I had the ridge already figured correctly. But I don't know why it works on one and not the other. I figured as DJP had mentioned that it had to do with wall hight. When I manually changed the wall hight on the first, I still could never get the roof to do what "it is supposed to" so that is why I started over and added the garage to the footprint from the beginning. However, when I got the roof on, I could not simply change the gable ends on the two places I needed a full gable wall, as I was able to do in the first drawing. It is blowing my mind. Thanks again for your guidance. I am going to try and fuss with it again today, it is due tomorrow . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y-g-m-n Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Maybe make a simple plan that just has the exterior walls and foundation and upload as zip file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
