your long gable is at 4:12 across 72', this puts your roof height at 12' at the peak. you side hip (not connected) is 17' at 4:12. this gives you roughly 6' at the peak, so short 6', which can be seen in a cross section:

 

so to fix it, you would have to change the pitch of the hip, or build a wall

 

or run the gable all the way across

      We are adding a one-story kitchen addition to the back of a house, I was thinking a sloped metal roof would look good but cannot figure how to create a different roof (or one that looks correct for this house!) on the kitchen addition jut out that looks correct.    Not reflected in the attached plan is that off of the kitchen addition we will be building a covered porch.   I have attached my file. Thanks for any assistance!  I've looked at some of the CA videos but keep missing the mark.

      Hey,
       
      I am trying to figure out how to place a beam in between the 2 walls so that the roof over hang will not jut out like this.
       
      I am assuming i need to put a beam in here and then the roof will continue on the same plane as the rest of the roof?? but i can't figure out how to do this. Room divider does not work..

      New upgrade to X15 had a great upgrade to floor trusses. Now I can lose my 3.5" wide joist place holders to keep my Material Lists accurate.
       
      What I could use to compliment this is the same truss on the rake. I design a lot of homes with at least some portion vaulted and the only way to make the top of windows match the pitch on the interior and exterior is to have the roof and the ceiling be the same pitch as well.
       
      For my final plans I call out parallel cord trusses. Basically this is a floor truss pitch up to match the rake. Does anyone know if Chief is capable of such a maneuver?
       
      Thanks to the Group,

      How do I go about putting a roof on this round room only?  I've watched the related video and done some searching on line.  When I use the Build Roof Planes and try to retain manually drawn roofs (which all other roof planes are) CA puts auto roof planes on top of all the other roof planes.
