Ward-Z Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I am new to Chief Architect and looking for guidance on the roof of a wrap around porch. I’m having the hardest time pulling the hip roof of the porch into the gable of the main house as shown in the attached picture. I have searched and searched for a tutorial on this with no luck. Is anyone aware of a tutorial for this scenario? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ward-Z Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 I have tried to auto build but it doesn’t get the porch roof right. I’ve spent several hours trying to manually build the porch roof with no success. It seems that there is a video for everything BUT what I’m trying to do! I’m on Chief Architect x10 Premier.

Ward-Z Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 Thanks for the quick replies. I have attached the plans, front elevation, my plan as entered on Chief and my latest sad attempt at the roof. Any guidance is greatly appreciated!

You could delete the 2nd floor. r1.plan Thank you. I’ll take a look at this one to see what I can learn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennw Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 This one was done using the upper pitch setting - same as Eric. It also uses the new Dutch Gable Wall option. All auto built off the verandah railing walls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
