VHampton Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 From what I can tell from the image DJP, the outside wall of the dormer is being buried by the roof. What needs to happen is a minor adjustment to the roof opening. If that's an auto dormer, it can be exploded. Turn on the roof opening layer in case it's not visible. Pull the roof opening towards the outside wall. Maybe an inch or two. The outside wall of that shed dormer will automatically shoot upwards. On the 1st image, it appears that the dormer is correct, but it was placed too far along the edge of the first floor wall. Thats why the outer skin of the first floor siding is showing the 2nd floor framing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_N Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 This is a manually constructed dormer, and manually adjusted roof planes. The roof is raised over 8" above the wall and CA built a short attic wall except where the dormer wall is above the roof. Pull the first floor exterior up and it will cover the notch.
