Bump Out Roof Questions / Suggestions.

[dantappin]

Working on a rough design (2025 Pro / Mac) and not happy with these 45 degree bump outs:

 

* I wanted to eliminate them - my wife pulled the veto on me lol

 

• I think I am going to reduce the slope on the roof - seems way to steep
• I did the invisible wall hack on the exterior 45 degree corners
• I had to hack the overhangs to get the notches in the corners
• trying to allow an eavestrough from back to front and not have downspouts on the back of the house / deck
• interior walls are 9'
• when I added these bump out roof details the way I did the bump outs are still 9' and it added like 6" to the other walls in the attic layer to keep the common roof line
• on the elevation mockup below I really think the best would be best if the main walls stay 9' and the main roof extends over these bump outs and then just cuts off the roof as required

 

Not really sure how to accomplish this in the software.

 

Also open to any other ideas / suggestions.  As an engineer I know I am being way to practical and trying to spruce this up and not just build a square "doll house".
