knnbmr Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Hello - I need to finish a plan but can't seem to figure out my very last little issue. I need to add a small gable over this front porch. The roof is a high shed roof, gabled on the right side. Any ideas? I've tried changing the porch roof to a gable and nothing happens, I've tried a bunch of other little things and all it does is mess with the roof pitch of that area. Thanks in Advance - Keenan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve looked at a couple and they don’t necessarily explain what I need. Thanks for your response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in Advance - Keenan You should post the plan... Also...where do you want this gable roof? Do you want it located above the 2nd floor plate...or at first floor line to enclose the porch (this would be a bad idea...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The would be on the roofline. So above the porch. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yusuf-333 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Follow Solver's advice. Manual roofs are quite handy as he said. Try this vid. Cut and join using plines. Here is the link to a short video tutorial I created earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottharris Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 The 'gable line' tool might work quickly using the automatic roof tools. See the attached plan. ROOF GABLE LINE.plan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_Gia Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I think you’re client's bigger problem will be the flooding in his home. Please see an architect or draftsman to correct your roof. I’m not sure why nobody has mentioned it here yet. I didn’t open the plan. I’m just looking at the first image in the post. Yikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got that by looking at the front elevation pic? Impressive. I don't think he understood when he was asked to post his plan. He shared the layout in a pdf format. Not the plan file.

knnbmr Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 I got it work with the ROOF GABLE LINE that Scott Harris recommended. Michael_Gia - I posted a different view of the elevation. Thank you all for your suggestions! Trying to get a profile pic to upload but all my files are too big! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
