PMMully Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Hi all, I am doing a plan for modifications to an existing structure that has a combination of a gable/hip roof (60's house in central Florida) over the core structure married to a flat roof that was custom built at one time. I need to capture the current state to show demolition and future state. The roof planes in the diagram attached are pretty close and good enough and I did that with hip/gable settings and wall breaks per the tutorial. I am struggling with how to show the existing flat roof of a slab patio, which forms the Veranda on the rear of the house. I looked at the "shed wall/gable" combo but it would not work right. I attached a pic of the floorplan and the 3D. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMMully Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 @solver How do I add ceiling joists underneath? They are 24" OC going out to a main support beam with tongue/groove on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMMully Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 @solver Correct. I have the surface specified as seamed EPDM, and the structure is fir framing, with the Use Roof Ceiling Finish unchecked. I have Framing Ceiling Beams and Roof Beams. I deleted the ceiling layer as well, but all it renders is the EPDM layer and the T&G layer under it. That part looks fine. I was trying to show the roof beams for the structure, so they would follow the slope of the roof versus manually drawing roof beams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMMully Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 @solver I was thinking the roof framing was already built as part of the structure. So no, I have not built the framing. I will look at the guides now. Update: Got it thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
