Sounds great I'm going to print this and keep in clients file.. Cheers Levina

please excuse my limited knowledge - are there videos on scale and trace?.. also do you mean site plan dimensions?

I am attaching the PDF site plan,, Is this something I can import into chief and create ( only the darkened grey buildings ( I have the plans ) Cheers Levina new site plan1.pdf

Yes thanks for the options! i will take your advise and call the truss company

span is 40ft cantilevering about 3 ft ( could be longer ) . as for the king post I don't know.. here's the house idea he 's going for

no .. not a curved roof just a slight gable uplift towards the front of the perch

well its one of three for a builder. so i'm going to call him tomorrow and discuss costs before i go down the rabbit hole

I appreciate your response and will inform the client

h ha got ya

thanks soooo much for your plan it looks prefect. I work in imperial measures so I have to adjust according; AGAIN looks great!

sounds like it could work I'm working on a few ways trying to figure it out. I have to say the responses I receive from this forum is amazingly helpful Thank you

I think we are on the right track..clients can sure make you create out of ordinary scenatios..i think a small plane might work..i was creating one but eas too large..thanks..but will google

yes I can do that and it works ,,now how do i keep the roof looking straight from the side view.. the roof looks slanted from back of house to front of house all the way to the front prow. client is looking for a slight upward slant towards the prow front overhang

Can I create this style of roof . I looked a the video on dual and curved roofs but not sure if it would give me the look the look the client wants. any help is always appreciated. I've attached the front angle view that he wants to change Cheers Levina

here's is an image of the clients idea.

thank you every one for your assistance it worked perfectly. Now the client has asked me if I can create the roof where the perch/prow is at a higher pitch than the ridge. here's how he wants the roof to look if its possible ( see image he sent me ) I looked at videos for dual roof heights but didn't see anything for this set up, should I copy the roof as if I was adding a curved and adjust the height then join but not sure how to approach this with a gable roof , any info is appreciated! Cheers Levina dual pitch gable.pdf

thanks all so much!! a picture is definitely worth a thousand words.

YES!!!

I know ... I did edit it but didn't see it go anywhere so I'm not sure if it worked or not

hey! thanks this will be a first for dure

I posted this a few days ago and got all your responses thanks! My original question was what is a gable perch? But now I have a Drawing of what the client wants so I'm asking how do I create this gable perch Thanks again in advance

yes....that what I'm goin to do now. I was just wondering if its something I should know but if this forum cant enlighten me,, then i'm good to ask Thank for all you inpit Cheers

No I don't think so and Yes it would look odd with the glass. thanks for your reply

no that's a material region
