Lynx_Design Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I am working on an add-on garage project. The preexisting house it will attach to is a salt box design, see images below. I have created the main roof and shed dormer but have no idea how to go about creating the cut-out portions of the main roof below the dormer windows, see image 1. I am new to Chief Architect (using X12) but I can not seem to find a way of creating this detail in the model after looking through the help documentation or reference manual, this is a rather uncommon roof/dormer detail in my experience. Unfortunately the breezeway roof that will tie the garage into the house intersects with the main roof close to these dormer window cutouts so I need to model them to check my tie-in roof location and pitch works. I have attached the current chief file also. If any one has an idea how to approach this please feel free to respond. Thanks, Chris Garage Addition.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Break the roof edge each side of window, drag edge down. In the no-roof rectangular hole you've created now needs a lower-pitched plane in its place. Manually draw it and adjust pitch to suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
