Thanks Kbird. I will do. I ended up upgrading to Home Designer Pro. I am still having issues though. I will head over to the other forum.

Hi Lew. I have HD Architectural 2014. As far as the roof line is concerned I really don't care if I can't edit it later. I just need to see if it will look good. I just need a starting point and then we can modify it accordingly when we build the addition. I would assume that someone with more advanced software can modify it and I should be able to read it with my Architectural version of the Chief software.....just not modify it further. I REALLY would appreciate someone helping.

Hello. I am building an addition to my cabin at the lake and bought Chief Architect Suite pretty much soley to see what the cabin would look like with a shed / hip style roof on the addition. It wouldn't do it so I upgraded to Architectural....still nada. For a one off project it isn't worth it to upgrade AGAIN to the $500 version. I hear with that version roof lines are a breeze. Is there any way that some nice soul out there could at a 4/12 pitch shed / hip style roof joining to the gable of the 12/12 pitch main cabin roof like my cut and hack "paint" that I threw together? I understand that if some does this for me I could no longer edit it in my Architectural software....but that's fine. I just really need to see what it looks like. As you can see there is a version of a gable on the front of the existing building that I can't draw either. There is an existing window that is about 4 ft x 4 ft on the gable that the shed / hip roof will join onto. To acheive what I need to acheive I will change the size of the window to as small as I need too. I would just need to know how small based on an 8 ft ceiling. My plan is 11 mb and too large to attach here. This link SHOULD work: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=4C7704A51D0CC908!1169&authkey=!APAxTx3UxABzjj0&ithint=file%2c.plan Thanks?!
