JollyRoger Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Hello, I am having issues with a dormer on the side of a house. I cannot figure out why the exterior wall is only a partial wall. I am using C.A. 12. Below is the picture of my issue. The plan is also attached. Thank you, Jeff S. Ollis Highlands_Lot6.3.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Problem #1: the roofs aren't connected at the top. Problem #2: this wall isn't long enough. Problem #3: this wall doesn't align with the floor below Problem #4: the hole in the lower roof plane isn't the right size. Drag it up to the exterior of the wall. Problem #5: some walls aren't using the default top and bottom height. Recheck those. Clean up the other side to match. Notice the side wall is broken into 2 segments: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNestor Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I’ve done a few videos on dormers - check out my YouTube page. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Steve, I was hoping I would find this video in the forum, Really great BTW! I viewed it on your YouTube channel. When I add my exterior wall (manually creating), my exterior wall gets cut at the roof. It is not extending out of the roof as you show. I am looking into my wall options to see if there is an option to cut it but not finding it. I will keep trying but wanted to get my question out there in case I don't find it. I'm caught up with my work and so busy learning these things. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenyhof Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I found it! Balloon Through Ceiling Above. I added an Auto Dormer, exploded it and looked at it's specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenyhof Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I took the wall from the auto dormer and copied it to the new position and it cut it down. I'll do some more digging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm unsure of your problem, but guessing you don't have a hole in the roof. You need to make your own when you manually build a dormer. You are right! I continued to watch the video and noticed that his walls disappeared under the roof inside, and then Steve said the walls don't come through until you add a hole. I should of kept watching. I watched once before and was stepping through it. My bad! Thank you Eric! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
