Oh, wow! Many thanks to both of you, I never knew that they were different tools!

I'm trying to make a shed roofed wall dormer manually while following the "Creating a Manual Wall Dormer" tutorial. I've gone as far as the step pictured in the first screen shot; creating break points in the roof so that I can pull it back to create the dormer roof. The problem is whenever I select the break tool, it deselects the roof and won't allow me to create break points. Is there some setting I need to change?

Yes, I did.

Here is a picture of the project. No, the roof isn't showing up at all.

I'm plan view. How do I define the roof?

Hello, I searched the forum, but couldn't find anything on this topic, so I apologize in advance if this has been answered many times already: I'm following the Chief Architect tutorial for Generating a Roof on Multiple Levels of a Structure. I did all the steps correctly and clicked OK on the "Build Roof" dialogue box. Then nothing happened. The tutorial showed an automatically generated roof on top of the house, but nothing happened for me. Help Please :/

Thank you so much Mike!! That worked! and thanks for the links too!

ok... how do you notch the roof plane? i'm sorry, i'm a beginner, so i'm a little slow

how do i do that?

Yes, this is what i need^^^

Yes, @solver, That is exactly what i would like!!! I'm sorry... i'm not very good with trying to describe things.

Well....i want to lower the window just a little bit....and keep the dormer itself the way it was before i "created room" in the dormer....there will be a window seat below that window.

Well.... it opened up the ceiling and the floor, so now i can look up into the attic and down to the first floor

Thanks! I'll try that.
