Angled Roof Plane problem

Recommended Posts

I have been tasked with recreating a townhome plan and I have run into an issue with the rear gabled roof plane.  Where the planes taper down into the main roof I am having a problem manually breaking the plane and having it change angle and direction (where the off angle bend occurs).  It's almost like I need an extra wall section to create a seperate roof plane and am at a loss as to how to proceed.  Has anyone had experience working with a roof such as this and has time to lend some knowledge?   Thank you in advance for your time.   

 

I attempted to back up the entire plan with attachments and it was 17MB so I can only attach the plan by itself as well as the few PDF's I have from the original plans showing the roof planes and front elevation.  

 

Thank you,

Ben

I suspect the pitches shown are incorrect. At the front gable the roof plane intersection is shown at approximately 53-degrees, which is about right for the intersection of an 8:12 with a 6:12, not an 8:12 with a 4:12 (63-degrees). I'm not a roof expert, but the rear gable is impossible - the intersection of two equally-pitched planes cannot suddenly change by 15-degrees at the ridge - there must be some other lines of intersection, other planes, or something else going on.

I would like to thank everyone for your help and suggestions and update on the final solution.  I was finally able to track down the person who did the original plans and, as a few of you have pointed out, it is impossible because he intended the angled part to be stick framed in the field to basically join 2 gable truss ends together.  A fine gentleman named Stephen at Chief introduced me to the rotate roof plane around 'z' ability and we were able to come up with a good workable solution.   Thank you again for everyones assistance.  When I was able to get in touch with the original creator of the plans he was able to provide a link so we could view more than just the front elevations and I have included it for those that were interested if there were other views.
