Here is a short video I generated where I manually edited the roof planes to create a rear gable on the back of my structure .  Rear gable is the same with as the front gable.  My video creation skills are not the best.

 

 

I appreciate the video, that should work perfect. What is the best way to handle changes to the plan after auto rebuild is off? Ex. I turn auto rebuild off, then manually build a section, then modify an area that was built with auto rebuild on. How do I auto rebuild that section?

Most people prefer to manually edit roof planes to get what they want.  I lean towards using methods that keep "Auto Rebuild Roofs" turned on when I can.  I have started to use the "Gable Roof Line" tool on some of my projects.  If you are using auto-generated roof planes, you can place a "Gable Roof Line" using the "Gable Roof Line" tool. Line it up with your far front edge of the main wall layer and draw the line the same width as your front gable.  Then you can select line and move it to the back relative to the where you want the back gable.  Keep the line centered on your front gable.  Some users would like say this is not the best method of accomplishing what you are trying to accomplish.  I like it I can keep auto rebuild roofs turned on.
 

 

 

 

 

Thank you for your response. I did try that tool, it did not work in this case but I could see it being useful.

I am trying to build the gable on the back of the garage, it should be centered on the gable in the front. I cannot figure out how to do this, I would like to leave auto build roofs on.
