Building Bump-outs for dormers

[MGM_Home]

Hello Everyone,

Trying to created a "dormer bump-outs" with no luck. I have 2nd. floor with roof starting at 5 feet and then continuing on to 8 ' at 12/12 pitch. When I bump out the 2nd. floor portion of the wall for the window, the wall is going to its full height, as it should , then I place the window in the bump out that is is higher than the existing roof plane. I created a manual roof planes on the top of the bump out, but then I can't close little space between the new "dormer" roof planes and  the lower main roof plane. In essence, I want a knew wall from the new small roof place to the main - existing lower roof plane....See attached a picture of examples...Any ideas how to solve this....?

You need to add a small "attic" wall in that gap, or...extend the wall back through the gap and then open the wall dbx and check the box for ROOF CUT WALL AT BOTTOM.

Hello Joey - thank you so much for your tip, it helped me to fix these little gaps. Any ideas how I could carry the roof planes  from the bump out without protruding into the room...? Please see the picture attached. 

 

Thanks so much - Michael

The roof planes simply need to be connected to the main roof plane. Select a roof plane, hit 2 on tryout keyboard, and select the roof plane to connect it to.
