gazumping Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Hello everyone, I use X10 and was trying to experiment with a 1.5 story cabin with open ceilings and have two different pitches on the roof, 8" in the back (for the upstairs) and mid way through go to a 12" pitch for a cathedral ceiling. I can get almost everything to work but I can't hide/remove the interior part of the wall where the two pitches meet. The back of the house is effectively a pair of large shed dormers that extend to the back wall. If there is a way to connect a dormer edge to that back wall then that would work as well. I am including a sample plan that when viewed from the inside shows two walls on each side of the 2nd floor - those are the ones I'd like to remove yet retain the exterior wall that connect the two different pitches. And now that I see the image the upper attic wall should also be removed. Any guidance on how to remove those interior walls or a better method of building such a structure would be greatly appreciated. --Christian 1.5-dormer.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazumping Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 Glenn, Yes, overall that looks like it with the exception that there is now a floor over the open area but the opening between the two pitches looks right! Apologies also, I did not add a signature with my version which is version X10 Premier so I can't unfortunately open your plan file you sent.

gazumping Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 Yes, that's it. Very much appreciated! May I ask what the key changes were? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Open the wall dbx's and have a look at the settings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazumping Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 I figured it out with your help. At first I couldn't see all the changes but after a detailed comparison I learned that the locations of each of those roof and wall elements must be in exact locations for the "cut" feature to work properly. Chalk it up to a minute set of misalignments on my part. TL;DR for anyone else: make sure your walls and roof planes are properly lined up - exactly. Thanks again for the lesson.
