Alan_T Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I'm looking for some help with a roof design. I'm trying to have the gable end of a roof butt up to a garage with the ridge running perpendicular to the gable. I have attached an example of what I am trying to do. Every time I try to do this the roof line goes crazy. Any suggestions are appreciated. Alan Home Designer Arch 2023 June-2024-v2.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renerabbitt Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Turn off auto build roofs and start manually editing your roof planes. Alternatively Chief supports roof groups so the roof on the garage/addition will build independently of the main roof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan_T Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 Thanks for the suggestion, but as it was stated, I don't have access to those tools in my version. For now I have added a hallway like space between the gable end and the garage and switched to a hip roof. It's not what I was looking for, but the roof line is acceptable now. Having thought about it, I'm not sure the example would be a great idea. There would be a lot of water coming down the roof and hitting that wall. In heavy rain, that could overwhelm the flashing and leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Ann Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Not sure what it is supposed to look like. A pic of the real house might have been more helpful. After a lot of experimenting, I got this result. Maybe it is closer to what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garybills Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 This is in Architectural 2024 trial so I couldn't send the plan file back to you and you can get there with some work. Like you said above there will be a lot of water coming down the side wall, I made that section a 4/12 pitch kind of like a cricket. The main gable roof is on the second floor and the four small gables front and back are on the first floor. The section to the right I lowered to get the look you showed. Anyway, there's my 2 cents!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
