zmontgoh Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 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!

Rookie65 Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

zmontgoh Posted September 20 Author Share Posted September 20 Thank you both for the tips! I have attached the model in this reply. Thank you again! 101 Palm - 1900sqft r3.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Because you are using manual roofs, you need to add the missing roof planes yourself. Did you try the auto roof builder? This seems like a simple roof that the auto tools should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmontgoh Posted September 22 Author Share Posted September 22 So I was able to populate a roof over the porch but it will not automatically extend to the wall the doorway is on (shown in green), am I missing something? Is the any way to extend the front siding of the house that is missing, shown in red? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
