dnpayne Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Hey all. I've struggling really bad trying to add a front porch to my plan. The roof is supposed to start right below the windows, but some weird stuff is going on that I just can't figure out. Any help out there?I've attached a screenshot and the actual plan. cedarpoint.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Can you explain your intent a bit more? There is no roof plane over the porch. Is this what you're trying to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
builtright3 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Ya I don't see any problems here. Your question needs to be a little more specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnpayne Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Ya I don't see any problems here. Your question needs to be a little more specific. Both of you pretty much got what I was trying to do. I couldn't figure out why I was having those weird side walls for the roof. Did you all just build a roof plane and it fixed it? Did you have to size up those two side walls showing on my original screenshot? I'm assuming I can go in and change the posts to a different style right?

dnpayne Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Well, I've gotten a little farther along. Still not exactly the way I want it. Question... how do I fill in the sides between the roof and the ceiling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
builtright3 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 The wall should automatically generate. Did you make some changes try to get rid of the high walls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 If the porch (or whatever you named it with) has "Ceilng over this room" checked in the Room Specification Dialog box - Structure Tab then the attic walls should automatically appear but if you have no ceiling checked then no attic walls would automatically appear and would have to be manually drawn on the floor above the porch-deck or whatever you named it. If you use the name "Deck" it will by default have no ceiling as part of the default programming attached to the attributes of a "Deck" room. it is up to you to control and guide the software to a desired result and often times you just have to learn how to do that as you go from the reference manual and other sources.

CJSpud Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 You could try making the side porch walls as gable walls then F12 to rebuild if they don't fill in automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnpayne Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Let me check this when I get back home. I have ceiling over this room checked and it's actually showing the ceiling in the thumbnail. I manually put a roof plan over it, so I'm wondering if that's why it didn't auto generate the sides. I couldn't figure out how to auto generate the whole roof and get the pitch changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
