JoOsmond Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I'm designing a small extension for someone and they want the new roof to be a skillion roof, which creates a butterfly roof where it meets the existing roof. There will need to be a box gutter...does anyone know how to show the box gutter where the two roofs meet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 It appears you would need a cricket to have any chance of that draining ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoOsmond Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 It will need to be a wide gutter running between the two roofs....something like this image I've attached, but a wider gutter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 You must be in a much friendlier climate than I am here in Canada but I would likely start with the gutter as a roof plane and just modify the materials as necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I think this kind of thing is faster and easier to just model as close as possible and use a cad detail for the gutter details 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DzinEye Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 If you're in a freezing climate or have a lot of trees around the house I would run run away from that recessed gutter detail. Asking for problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolution Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 A leak looking for a place to happen! If this is for a client you do need to advise them of the very high likely hood of roof leaks and this gutter will most likely be the cause! If it is for you, no design is worth the trouble THIS will cause you. Maybe not the first or second rain, but boy, if you get one of those DOWN POURS, (maybe you're in a dessert climate) the night-mares will begin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
