Fotis1960 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Help needed I'm a casual user and can't figure out how to build this roof. I want to build this house as an as build to add an addition for a friend. The roof is just beyond my skill level, so any help would be appreciated. I have added pictures of the front and back of the house. Thank you in advance.

Fotis1960 Posted May 18 Author Share Posted May 18 Thank you for the video suggestion. That got me to layout the shell of the house. Unfortunately the false gables are just that. No room inside. This house has a second floor (loft). Would like to get a more accurate drawing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fotis1960 Posted May 19 Author Share Posted May 19 This is how far I've gotten. Does anyone have any suggestions to get it closer to the actual pictures. Wendel OP House As Built.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark3D Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I had a play with your file i made some changes I put a roof hole in the large roof plain front and rear gables facia heights on large roof plains i made sub facia 15" and eave facia 16" also turned on boxed eaves I put a molding for deck facia I made stair floor open below See if that is what you can use, I think the roof pitch should be stepper like 12 in 12 from looking at your photos 1996198547_WendelOPHouseAsBuilt.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
