SBCWyoming Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Hello all, I'm trying to draw a dormer roof that doesn't have an eave fascia and, instead, comes to a point at the bottom of the valley. Does anyone know how I can achieve this? I've attached a pic of what I have for reference. I'm using X15 and the auto floating dormer tool. It builds the dormer just fine, with the above limitation. Thanks!!dormer eave.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBCWyoming Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 Thanks VHampton. I was hoping to be able to do just that, but because I'm using the dormer tool, dragging the roof plane isn't an option like it would be if I had actually drawn in the roof. The only option is to make it larger, but it never seems to connect the two roof surfaces. I might have to resort to drawing in the roof planes and figuring out the dormer wall situation. I just feel like this should be a dormer option in CA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenL-sdd Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 @SBCWyoming I believe if you explode the dormer then you can use Vhampon fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHampton Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 You're welcome Scotty. I draw every roof manually which is why this came to mind. That said, the dormer which you've made (w/ auto tools) should remain the same even though it would be exploded. Then it should be easy enough to widen the roof opening, and drag that edge downwards. All the best - Val Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
