aaaah!  This is the answer I have been hoping for :-) I perfectly understand what you are saying and I will dive back into the application to apply this (which will take me a while because I am pretty new to this). THANKS!

p.s.:  I apologize for posting in the wrong forum again. This explains why I couldn’t find my post ;-)

 I have posted this problem before, but couldn’t get a solution. Since then I have watched countless videos, but I still haven’t solved the problem. I’m beginning to wonder if this is something that is just not possible  ...

In the attached files you will see that I built my roof (which has admittedly a weird shape: basically the roof is inverted, like a funnel, towards the atrium in the center of the house).  There is this final roof plane which I cannot get to connect. I have tried to run the base line along the hips of the adjoining roof planes and then angle that baseline to follow the pitch  of those roof plans. That got me pretty close, but as you can see the 3-D renderings are less than satisfying...

thanks

 hi! I wonder if the following is possible (in home designer pro): I manually create a roof plane and turn its shape into a triangle. At one side of the triangle  I line up the baseline of a new roof plane. looks perfect in 2d, but seen in 3d it becomes obvious that the 2 roof planes are angled against each other. i have tried adjusting the baseline angle to the pitch of the first plane, but this is a lot of trial and error and they never seem to meet perfectly ...
