EcoTed Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I have drawn my exterior walls to define dormer location, snapped a rectangular polyline including those walls. Went to convert polyline to "Hole in Roof" but that option was grayed out so I could not select it. Q. What do I do to make that option available to me? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcoTed Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 I am using x9. I am adding a dormer to a room over a garage but the roof was drawn on the first floor plan. Dormer is being drawn on the second floor plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcoTed Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 This garage roof where the dormer is going runs on the same plane as the adjacent 1 story house therefore the roof for the house is drawn on the first floor plan. In order to put the manual dormer in the roof above the garage do I have to draw the garage roof on the second floor plan by matching ridge height and pitch and abutting the two roofs or is there a better way?
