I have some duct tape and two bottles of Gorilla Glue... I think Im good!

Thanks again guys. Used the above recommendations and got pretty close. Close enough to submit the 'idea' to Kootenai County now. @JiAngelo and @SHCanada2

Thanks everyone. Will try all of these mentions this weekend. I agree with @JiAngelos third comment. It appears the new 'room' is adopting the wall from the previous patio and somehow integrating the height of the whole house. I did try the 'build off' method and it seems to be close but when I move and tie them back to the posts the wall goes crazy again. @SHCanada2I am almost certain those walls are hip and gable, respectively, but will double check this weekend. Thank you.

Mornin' guys. Trying to draw up an addon roof to our existing patio cover. Ive viewed a few videos and tried adding a couple rooms but my roof always ends up looking like a leanto roof on one side. Id like it to have a gabled end with a small slope to maintain roof line and stay under the window. What Im doing: - Create 3 external walls off the existing posts. - Make room "Patio" - "Gable" roof the end of the roof Red drawing is what Id like, but this is my end result... I know you guys are busy, appreciate any pointers you can offer. Thank you in afvance.

Ok cancel everything... I just figured out how to do this... I may have cheated but its working... I went to the Library Browser and found a column and placed 4 of them in there. I may not be engineered or legal but I am just trying to show potential contractors what I want done... Here we go....

Thanks DB and Gene... I have the posts but lost my ceiling and cant get it back...

Morning all, I found one CA article that details how to build a room with columns, but it does not appear to be working for me for some reason. So far, I went a different route and and built a room with invisible walls... Im trying to spec out a second patio cover to start gathering bids. Any easy ways to get those columns to appear? I dont mind redoing the rooms. And lastly, if someone knows how to create a louvered wall, that would be awesome...

Thanks Eric- Im trying that but the way each room upstairs is setup, its like a loft so Im missing something These red lines, show the actual room size (approximate). I will look at your link and see if that helps.

(CA x13) Hey guys, I havent been on here in a while and just been working on a house plan that we would like to build. Found a house, love the layout but cant figure out how to draw the upstairs with the big sloped roof as you see... Here is the actual house and then my attempt.... (Very rough, so no laughing) Not sure how to build out those gable-ended loft areas. (3 in total)

Thanks DB, or should I call you Dan? I am using the CA "Lake-Point" plan on CA13 and reconfiguring it so Im not sure where Scott built the stairs but I am guessing the 2nd or lower floor. I will try your suggestions later tonight and let you know what I come up with. Thank you.

Ok well that KINDA worked. I cant seem to eliminate or pull back the flooring so the first step is about 14" and as you go down the stairs, you will bump your head. How can I move or adjust that landing\flooring?

Actually I think I found it by moving the stairs from the lower floor, not the upper.

Seems like this should be pretty easy but when I try I its not working so I am sure I am doing something wrong. I would like to select these stairs and move them to the right, where the top of the stairs is flush with the wall (green line). What am I missing? Any ideas would be helpful. Thank you in advance.
