Fun With Dormers

[HumbleChief]

Never really done dormers before and can't seem to get them placed where I'd like them. THANK YOU!

Don’t use auto-dormers. 
 

It’s mainly;

 

- hole in roof

- place walls

- use the “lower wall type if split by butting roof” in the roof tab of the wall dbx. 
- use the “ballon through ceiling above” in the structure tab of the wall dbx.

- manually draw your roof planes.

The vaulted ceiling in the main room is forcing Attic walls to build above, blocking the dormer.

 

Open the large room.

Check Flat Ceiling Over This Room

Open the broken dormer and press OK (or copy a new one over assuming you've deleted the broken one already)

Uncheck Flat Ceiling Over This Room
