mattivester Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 How might I be able to accomplish this roof design in Chief Architect (specifically the two pitches of shed roof on one plane). I do apologize that this is such a general question, but I am untrained and happy to clarify any questions you may have. Thank you in advance.

GeneDavis Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Now draw the dormers, and frame it with trusses, and see if the truss designer can make it happen. Those dormers are false, and can either be lick-and-sticked right onto the sheathing, or used for cool light shaft effects, think skylights with windows and roofs. Go on YouTube and watch the framers build these kind of false dormers. Fun to watch. Fun to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
