ablackmon81 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I've successfully drawn this attached houseplan with an automatic roof and it was great. The client requested I move the side porches out by two feet so that the front and side porches were all 8' deep. This change forced me to move the entire left exterior wall out 2'. Now that I try to auto rebuild a hip roof again, it won't completely build. What is going wrong? Please see attached. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ablackmon81 Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 Thank you for the ceiling help! It worked that time. I learn more with each new plan. On your second response, what pitch did you use that made the porch appear a bit segmented? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ablackmon81 Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 Eric, you've been so helpful. I drew a 9/12 roof and added the dormers. The client wants the ridge to be longer, but the roof doesn't need to be a smaller pitch. How can I lower the ridge height (and lengthen the top ridgeline) like the photo that I've added? Any smaller pitch and it looks squatty. Hooks__plan.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ablackmon81 Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 Ok. I feel like I’ve tried that several times, but I’ll take another shot at it. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ablackmon81 Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 The problem I was having when I did that was each roof piece wouldn’t connect properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ablackmon81 Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 OK, I've tried over and over to change this roof. I've selected every roof section, lowered the pitch, raised the other sections...they all disconnect. I have auto rebuild selected yet when I change these pitches, I get an error message that "in order to make the changes, auto rebuild must be turned off". I just need it to look like the house you shared in your previous comment! That's the exact look, I just can't make it happen. Why are my roof segments not re-attaching?? Thanks for your help!

ablackmon81 Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 I was able to view your plan. It looks great! I have YouTubed videos and gone through chief. Are you one of the contacts for call-in tutorials? I need to wrap this up. I didn't have all of my measurements and everything perfectly symmetrical yet, I was trying to do all of that last since the client is still making changes. I just found out from my contractor that he wanted an exterior elevation asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
