My boss has told me to create this house in Chief Architect with only Auto Roofs that way if the dimensions are off, he can change them later. Here is a link to the house's listing: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/110-Fox-Chase-Hendersonville-NC-28739/441854964_zpid/? I have completed the creation of this double Rake board on this side of the house: However, on the other side, I have to create another overlapping Rake board: Creating a full gable wall on the side of the house does not work for this side, because the second story is in the way: If this were completed, I think it would change the other parts of the roof, and probably complete the plan: Does anyone know how to create this with only Auto Roofs? Also, many thanks to Jonathan K and y-g-m-n for helping me get thus far! I know this would be easier to manually tweak, but in a few weeks my unpaid internship comes to a close and my boss wants to be able to easily edit the plan with any updates after I'm gone.

I figured it out! Thank you so much!

I'm relatively new to the software. How do I do this again?

Too true. It is not exactly my choice.

Got it! The answer was 113.6. Thank you so much!

I tried to make it less than 1/4" but Auto Roofs changes it back to 1/4". I think it needs to be less than 0.25, because of how it progresses:

Thank you so much! I think this is working! Sadly, It will only let me do down to a 1/4 out of 12 slope on the hip. If I could do more than that, I think it would be fixed. Is there a way to change the settings that way it would go farther down - to like 0.15? If not, this may be the closest it can get and my boss will hopefully accept it. Thank you again!

Thank you so much! This is working. I am having some minor problems with Auto Roofs though... While it works for the gable, the gable doesn't go straight back, it has a strange diagonal, which transfers to the other side of the house: Do you know how to "guide" the Auto Roofs to make the gable go straight back, like the picture on the left shows?

I would like to create this house in Chief Architect: My boss told me I have to do it with only Auto Roofs because he is not sure if he gave me the correct dimensions so we may need to update it later. So far I have constructed the large gable: But when I try to add the smaller gable on the side, it creates a double gable: Or it creates one big gable: Does anyone have any ideas for how to fix this with only using Auto Roofs? https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/110-Fox-Chase-Hendersonville-NC-28739/441854964_zpid/?mmlb=g,32
