Dormer Roof/ Fascia and Main Roof

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

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.

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
