Split roof help

[josbrp]

Hello,

 

I am trying to create a split roof, but can't seem to figure how to do it. I attached some pictures that shows what I'm trying to do.

 

 I appreciate any help.

 

Thanks

Turn off Auto Rebuild Roofs and edit the roof planes manually:

For more help, download the Reference Manual for your version of Chief - there is a lot of good info that will help you with manipulating roofs.

do you mind sharing the file with the roof like that? i get big gaps on the walls when i edit the roof planes manually.

Is it possible you manually adjusted your walls in an elevation mode?  If so that turns off the automatic wall sizing you want  on to fill the "gap".  Select all of your walls in plan view, open the wall dbx and on the structures tab make sure the first two radial buttons (default wall top and bottom height). is checked.  That should fix the "gap" problem.

I can't share the file - I'm on X12, and you won't be able to open an X12 file on X11. Refer to the Reference Manual, I think it can get you headed in the right direction:

If they are set to automatic heights that means there is an invisible wall that is in that same space keeping the attic walls from being built.  Go to your attic level, turn on attic and invisible walls and delete them all twice with auto attic wall build turned on.  Should clean it up.
