Stevenplane Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I'm tired, not very experienced, and can't seem to get this. I'm trying to render a proposed back porch shed roof for a client. No matter what I do, I can't seem to get the roof lines to connect properly so that the fascia boards are at the same elevation. With the shed roof added, we plan to raise the existing brick up to touch the underside of the new shed roof. Also, there will have to be a long hip to fill in the current open area of roof I have drawn. Any help or suggestions would sincerely be appreciated. I've attached screenshots and I tried to attach the house file but I'm getting an error message from Chieftalk. Going to log out and log back in to try the plan file again. Thanks!

planesteven Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I finally got the plan file to attach. Thanks! Dawson Porch Roof Troubled.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tchomes Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 If you are just wanting the two lowest planes to be at the same height, open the original roof plane and copy the "Fascia Top Height" height. In the plan view, make sure you align the new roof plane edge to the other edge. Then open that Roof Plan box and lock the roof pitch and paste in your "Fascia Top Height" from your other plane. They should then be at the same height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planesteven Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 That's it exactly! Thank you! Now instead of that open end that's closest to the camera, I'd like for it to be a long hip. I'm not sure the best way to explain it. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planesteven Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 That's it exactly. Could you attached the revised plan file? I'm still not copying something correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tchomes Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Cut the existing roof plane at the intersection of your new roof plane using the cut polyline tool or by pressing the number 3 (shortcut). Then drag the corner down a ways and join the two together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tchomes Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I modified it in X9. What are you currently running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tchomes Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Here is the revised plan that I saved. I checked the open in Home Designer box, so hopefully it will open in the version you are using. If not, I can modify it in X8, but I don't currently have X7 loaded. Dawson Porch Roof Troubled.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tchomes Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 With practice, you will get the hang of it and be able to draw the below in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenplane Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 "With practice" being the operative phrase...lol. I went ahead and used this as an excuse to use my SSA to upgrade to beta 9. (For some reason I couldn't get 8 anywhere in my digital locker) Anyway, thanks so much for your help! I'll give you an update tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tchomes Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Sorry for the trouble between X7 & X9. The same steps work for X7 as well. One thing for sure, if you need some help, there is always someone on Chief Talk that will try. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
