You should post the plan... It looks like you have created a "pony wall" and you are using a molding line for the cap? If so, you need to click on the molding line and change the elevation. This is just an example...

Thanks very much. I’m just experimenting with the music. iMovie has a limited selection...

Quick (and simple) video on how to construct a manual and an automatic dormer. I'm building these on a "floor" with a "room"....if you should not try to build a dormer with a room on an attic level. Hope it helps...

Take a look at my video on How to build Manual Dormers. Hope it helps...

I did a video showing how to construct a "Gull Wing" roof automatically...no manual roofs. I'm not expert...so, maybe someone will chime in and "critique"? Hope it helps...

You should...or someone should. You showed this to me a while back...but, I could not remember how to fix it. Argggggg....

Michael...thanks so much. Very much appreciated!

Post the plan...

Why do you prefer “Screenflow” versus Camtasia. There is a big price difference. Are there other benefits? I’m trying to decide...I’m considering both. Thanks.

Rocky...what you are seeing is the underside of the roof deck...not the soffit. Something is wrong with your roof and the soffit is not building. OK...you are getting quick!

I agree...but Doug mentioned "solid subtraction doesn't seem to work"....therefore, the video.

Ahh...ok, post any questions you may have. Take a look at the screen clip below...ceilings are different. This appears to be a plan for a remodel...so, possibly this is correct?

One other thing I just noticed. The wall to the rear of the "bay" window does not align with the wall to the front of the bay...it's off about a half inch.

One more question...Can you tell me why the roof pitch in the front is 6 7/16? Is this correct?

Good thinking Richard...I'd never have thought of that.

"EASY" is a relative term. If you know how to do these things...yes, then it's fairly simple. If you don't...well, frustration station is just ahead. If you are referring to the plan you posted recently...well, the entire plan is one big room. You can open "defaults" and go to floors/rooms tab and change the default height. The plan ceiling height will change. However, if you have a roof on this plan...the roof will not move. You will have to manually move the roof planes up or down in the "Z" axis the same dimension you raised or lowered the default ceiling height. (did we lose you?)

Did a quick look...and one thing I noticed was that the roof overhang at the rear/2nd floor is wider than the standard 12" overhang you have everywhere else. This will have an impact on your frieze boards not aligning properly. Couple other questions...see pics below; Should 2nd floor wall be covering the brick here? If so...you need to move your 2nd floor wall. If not...in needs some trim and the roof pulled parallel. Is the way this gutter board is drawn (square)...is this correct? The gutter is just hanging out in mid-air...

Post the plan...it’s the only way to get an accurate answer

Eric is correct... See clips attached...

Doug...why not use solids and create a symbol? See video...

Glad I could help...this Forum is filled with very helpful people.

I have a MAC...so, it comes with "QuickTime" which I use for screen capture...and "iMovie" that I use to put together the final "edited" movie files. It works...but it's not the most professional software. If I can bring myself to spend the money I'd buy "CAMTASIA 2018". It looks like a great piece of software...but, it cost about 260.00...and for 299.00 I can buy Apples pro movie editing software called "Final Cut Pro X". I'm still investigating...and trying to learn about all the available products. The one reason I like "CAMTASIA" is that you do the screen recording and the editing in the same piece of software. Seems like the way to go...

Rocky...you are working way too hard on this roof. See attached video...hopefully it will help. Here is my plan file...Rocky Roof Fix Plan 1.plan

Rocky... I think you need to read the manual, watch the Chief Videos, get on YouTube and watch as many DSHall (Scott Hall) videos as you can...and learn the program. Did you watch the video I posted? The first thing you need to do is learn to control "LAYERS". If you learn how to use the software...that roof should only take about 10 minutes to complete. We've all been where you are...at the starting line. Education is the key to success. I will look at your plan and possibly post a video later today....I think your attached plan can be useful in teaching others.

Rocky - let us know if it's the construction of the roof you are having trouble with...or, just creating a simple plan view where you can work with the roof planes. I don't think your post is clear... Thanks.
