LJKbuild Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Hi Everyone. I'm struggling with adding a gable roof or a nested gable roof on the garage addition to the plan. it won't do it automatically because of the mud room that joins the existing structure and the garage. please help. kGarageAddition.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJKbuild Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 yes I have tried manually and it didn't work. I just need it to be a gable over the garage since the existing house has a gable already. thanks . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_stuart Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Not sure if this is what you are looking for but this was done with manual planes. The larger issue is the viability of how to build it, I don't see how it could ever be built this way in the real world. kGarageAddition (1).plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made the walls in this area "railing walls, post to beam". I adjusted the ceiling height to match the garage ceiling height...and adjusted the floor height. I also noticed the front garage wall was tagged as an "attic" wall...it doesn't need to be an attic walls. I also noticed you have some walls that you have made height adjustments to...I set those to be "default top and bottom". Never pull walls up or down unless you have absolutely no choice...which is almost never. I noticed that your ceiling heights are not "default"...not sure why, but you should probably set the correct default floor/ceiling height prior to starting the drawing. It will save you a lot of headaches. I changed your hip on the main roof to a gable...just because I thought it looked better. Here is the "fix" plan: kGarageAddition - Fix 01.plan To accomplish this roof you just have to see the roof in 3D and understand how each gable section "fits" together...it can be complex.
