I'm learning how to draft A Frames, a few questions, and I'm sure I'll have more, after constructing the walls/roof, at 20'12. how do you create a second floor, how do you push the front face inwards as to create a front overhang, and if I wanted a balcony off the second floor, how do you create an opening in down sloping roof, as to create a door. Thanks, in advanced, Michael

Thanks, finally got it figured out.

I need to create a closet under the stairs, I was able to do this with the L Shaped but having trouble with the U shaped. I attached the stair image. Thanks, as always.

I need first image to look like second image. Thanks!

I have a lean-to house, having difficulties with the porch roof, if possible, I would like it to be independent of the house. I've included files. sample.zip

thanks, appreciate everything

I got an update on the plan and they wanted the front wall out another 8'. So, I had to move the roof plane/porch you created out 8' as well. Everything looks good except the gable goes through ceiling in the front bedroom. I tried messing with the pitch and top height and that didn't work...

Great Thank You

Thanks everyone for the help on this. One question, how do you draw roof lines at an angle, in contract to the box roof plane provides.

no problem appreciate the help

Thank you! If you have time, can you tell me what you did to the porch?

Thanks, I've been working on the draft so it's a little different then the image above. planfile.zip

Doug the plan file is double the limit that I can post.

I created a gable porch; however, the porch ceiling extends below, does anyone know how to delete this segment.

Thanks!

When I open my plan file projectone1.1 this opens as a plan in the Project Brower. However, when I open the layout, it adds another plan to the Project Browser called projectone1.plan. Thus I have two plans open, and the window and door labels have two label - One for each plan, is there a way to consolidate or what's happening here.

When I changed it into flat ceilings, the roof plan got messed up, however how can I create lean to roofs with a 3" pitch?

Hi David, thanks for your response, I've included a jpg, there is still a hip and not a flat surface...I found the tray ceiling seems to be working

As you can see, I have a house with lean tos on both sides, I've managed to produce some sort of ceiling on the leans tos, and the gentleman I'm working for wants a flat ceiling, under the pitched roof, 10' high ceilings. If you know how to go about this let me know. I can post reference files if needed.

The errors were an easy fix, just caught up on ceilings, seems trivial but causing a little frustration.

What camera did you use so the ceilings are visible?

My apologies, I'll try to search first. This my first project for my job, and I'm getting hung up somewhere about ceilings, they are my primary concern. Thanks

I created a Monitor house with lean tos. However, the roof is at a high pitch, so the rooms on the second floor, and the rooms in the lean tos all need flat ceilings. I've tried default settings, room settings, etc, and with no result. Trying to get this project done which is why I'm asking for help. I have a plan file attached. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! project1.1 (1).zip

I'm new to this, so forgive me. I need to create a monitor style house with lean toos on both sides, at 3 roof pitch which need to connect to the center, which is 8 roof pitch, I've having issues with the auto build. From the jpeg you can see it needs a lot of work. Thanks!
