Dual Gable Covered Porch Help

[zmontgoh]

Hello All, is there a best practice to create a dual gable- covered porch? I have attached both a screenshot of my model an inspiration for what I am trying to achieve. So far I have tried creating a "room" on the porch and enabling a roof over said room but it does not seem to produce what I am looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What version of Home Designer and the year do you have? That information is important before anyone can begin to help you. If you have Pro, manual roofs are the tool to read up on.

Always add that info when asking a question.

 

Attaching your plan file -- 14MB size limit and the plan cannot be open in Pro when you upload. Zip the file if needed will help others troubleshoot.

 

It's helpful, especially with such a dark model, to switch to Technical Illustration view, and turn off Patterns (3D Menu, Toggle patterns) when taking a screen capture, except of course if your question needs a different rendering technique to show the problem.
