builtright3 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I'm having trouble learning how to draw a Grambrel roof the way I want it in Chief Architect and so Im looking for someone I can pay to tutor me to get what I want. I would like someone that is familiar with the Gambrel roof's that can also offer framing suggestions. I have never framed one before so a little lost in where to start. Any help would be appreciated. This is the exact look I'm going for: This is the house I want to convert to a second floor (or loft), Gambrel roof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennw Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 This can be done very easily with auto roofs. Build your second floor. Go back to the level 1 floor - because we are going to build the roof of this level. Make the 2 end walls Full Gable Walls. Make the side walls Hips. Open the Build Roof dbx. Check Auto Rebuild Roofs and Ignore Top (2nd) Floor. Enter the lower pitch value and check Upper Pitch. Enter the appropriate values. You should have something like the pic. You will probably have to go through it and fine tune some of the parameters. Make a donation to charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennw Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 That problem is being caused by the junction of the upper floor platform, external wall and roof bearing location. Can you do a quick detail of that junction. Can you make the lower pitch flatter than what you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
