DIYJon Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 A simple structure. 4 Wall. 3 of the walls extend above the roof to form the parapets. On the 4th wall, the flat roof hangs over creating an eave with a parapet. If I draw 4 exterior walls to create a box, the first thing I need to do is change the sloped roof to a flat roof, then create 3 parapet walls, and finally the overhang. How would I do that?

DIYJon Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 Yes, I was working from this article: Creating a Flat Parapet Roof but it seems that this requires a completed room with 4 walls. (still very green in this program.) CA creates a sloped roof with 4 planes by default. If I'm going for a single plane that extends past one of the walls then a few things are true. The roof structure butts up against the parapet wall on the interior of 3 walls which extend above the roof, and it also extends over one of the other walls which is below the roof structure to form the eave with the soffit. Should I just create 3 taller than normal walls and one short wall, then build a flat ceiling plane at the right height? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you’ve figured this out yet… 1). Build a new floor at the roof level. This way your parapet wall heights are determined by the ceiling height of that “room”. 2). Draw a shed roof from the interior of those 3 parapet walls but extend the roof over the 4th wall by the distance for your eave. Over here we would build this roof using roof trusses with a slope of 1/4”: 12”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
