rittsdoneright Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I've been having issues with auto build roofs. I'm new to this program so be easy on my design but I know I'm doing something wrong. I am trying to build a Gable roof, I have gabled ends but in auto build roofs it wants to hip the roof and create almost a hand raftered roof instead of one with trusses. I want to be able to have one/two ridges where the plan keeps trying to create 3 or more depending on how I move the walls.

Rosco2017 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 This is probably a very simple roof design that would only take a few minutes to create. I have some time tonight to look at it in more detail with you if you'd like. Do you have a pic of what you're trying to achieve? Is this a existing structure?

Possible_design_2.zip Thank you that does help a tad but that's not exactly what I'm trying to achieve but what I'm trying to achieve may not be able to do. I'm wanting a connecting double gable in the front, like the picture attached and a single ridge line through the house and garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible_design_2.zip Can I ask, how you did that with the roof though, I'm still a newbie to this and I couldn't even figure how to do that! I do like the roof that way & I'll probably keep it that way just didn't know if it could have one ridge line across or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have a single ridge, but other things will need to change, so what's more important? This image does not help, just shows another way. Thank you! I think I will go with the first way you and shaneK did it, but I really like what you did with my entrance! Thank you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
