PitMan71 Posted Monday at 04:00 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:00 PM All... Newbie here.... What is the best way to create an attic dormer? I have a plan i am working on that has two decorative dormers over the front porch into the attic. When i use the dormer tool it complains about a wall being in the way, which I guess its referring to the wall separating the porch and living space. That wall does not even go into the attic so I am not sure what the issue is. Thanks in advance for any tips on this. Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericepv Posted Monday at 04:19 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:19 PM Auto dormers work well for this application... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00648/creating-an-automatic-dormer.html As Gene mentioned above, you may need to modify it to fit the space.
