CONTEMPoraryMan Posted Wednesday at 03:30 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:30 PM I am having a hard time getting roof lines to work on my home design. It is a contemporary home with long sloping roofs overhanging. Maybe someone can mark up the attached screen shots to help me select the right walls that should be 'full gable walls' and which ones are 'high shed walls". Some walls are the high walls & gable walls in some instances. Is it even possible? did i read i can manually draw the roof? sean Home Designer 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to replicate in the home designer software, which seems difficult with tthe lower end version. One wall for instance is the top of the shed slope while also the downward slope of the other roof line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie65 Posted Thursday at 03:58 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:58 PM Again, which version of the Home Designer software do you have, Suite, Architectural, or Pro???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Jo_Ann Posted Thursday at 05:53 PM Solution Share Posted Thursday at 05:53 PM What you ask for on the forum, is too extensive for any in depth replies. You need to watch the video tutorials, https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/videos/ and then practice and experiment until you understand how the software works. That design is very complicated for someone new to the software. To answer your question, "Is it possible?" Yes. And it CAN be modeled using only the auto build roof tools, that Suite and Architectural offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CONTEMPoraryMan Posted Thursday at 09:20 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 09:20 PM That is great to see, I have tried the videos, including some of the more indepth ones. I just need to find the right way without having to build multiple walls. Glad to see it can be done. I do have Home Designer suite 2023, so i hope you were able to do this in that program. I would pay a few $ via paypal for that design if i can load it into suite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
