sday757 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 stuck. I'm trying to achieve a dormer between floors as in the attached image. The second floor is 4' tall with trusses on top. I try to add the dormer on the 2nd floor and get ceilings too low. I can add them to the attic but it doesn't give what I'm looking for. I painted the second floor brown to help illustrate. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sday757 Posted July 24, 2023 Author Share Posted July 24, 2023 From a member, it appears you can create a "walled dormer" simply by creating a small room on the second floor with a ceiling height that punches that room above the roofline. Although I am still unable to put a barreled roof over that dormer without the barreled option as seen on the plan I'm working. (probably because a walled dormer like this isn't built with the dormer tool) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sday757 Posted July 24, 2023 Author Share Posted July 24, 2023 And to complete the answer I received to maybe help someone else in the future, it looks like to achieve the barreled roof that is a single click operation in the dormer tool, it requires some manual roof edits to achieve as a wall dormer. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00649/creating-a-curved-barrel-roof.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/746/drawing-curved-and-barrel-roofs.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
