Jarenand Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Im pretty new to the program and have been working on manual roofs. Im currently trying to make a break in the front roof line to put a gable over the front door. Im not sure what im doing wrong ive gotten close to what I want but cant quite get it to look how I want. Any help would be appreciated.

TeaTime Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 You'll want to raise the height of the upper roof planes - or lower the front one in order to create that separation we see in the photo. Don't use a Hole in Roof for this, just break the edge and pull it back. This should be done on both roof planes, the photo shows the lower shed is split into two. Pulling a smaller edge through the entire plane will split it. > For the upper roof plane, break it in three places to create a triangular shape in order to properly Join the roof planes. Lastly, the new gable roof planes are up on Floor A, not a problem per se but it makes it harder to work with them all. Move them down to Floor 1 and Join them all up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 You need to match that exactly? The look could be better. Can you consider? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarenand Posted November 30, 2023 Author Share Posted November 30, 2023 Awesome thanks its looking alot better. I am curious though as to why I have the gap you can see. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarenand Posted November 30, 2023 Author Share Posted November 30, 2023 No im not trying to match that exactly. My walls arent going to be tall enough to make it look exactly like that. I need the gable over the porch to look somewhat similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution TeaTime Posted November 30, 2023 Solution Share Posted November 30, 2023 9 minutes ago, Jarenand said: I am curious though as to why I have the gap you can see. That gap is common in exterior type rooms. Its the roof ceiling surface being placed under the full rafter depth, you don't normally see that because there's usually a wall there covering it up. If those roof plane's stud thickness can be reduced then that'll take care of it. But a quick fix is actually in the porch room specification. Under the Roof section there's an option to Use Soffit Surface for Ceiling. This reduces the rafters over the entire room, instead of just at the eaves.
