Roof Question

[CharlieShew]

I am using Home Designer and found out there is a forum for that. I'll head over there to ask.

Thanks

 

This is my first post. I did try to search but did not find an answer which made sense to me. I want my roof over the house to be a 7/12 pitch and the roof over the garage and porch to be a 4/12. This is for a house I hope to build next spring. The truss company said I'd need the 7/12 to meet my goals. The 4/12 is just a starting point to see how it would look, I am open to suggestions.

My issue, any changes I try to make changes the drawing from a gable roof to a hip roof. I admit, I do not know much about the program and do not understand the Start at Height and the In from Baseline measurements. 

Can someone tell me how to make these changes and what can I read to better under how to make different roofs?

Thank you for any help!

You need to select the side walls on the garage and porch and go to the specification dialog (Ctrl+E) and select the "Roof" and change the pitch to 4
