rck-tech Posted Friday at 01:51 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:51 PM Hi guys, I GAVE UP... please see the images and the attached plans and hand sketches. All I am trying to do is create a dormer. When I use the dormer feature I will get the roof below please see the screen shot 4. When I try to create it manually; no matter what I try to do I can't get the two roofs to connect, please see screen shot 2, and I can't get the wall to start at the pitched roof. what am I doing wrong PLEASE...?? please see the screen shot and the Plan Garage-21x31-forum.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rpadge Posted Friday at 02:11 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:11 PM I probably wouldn't use the dormer tool in that situation. Just draw the upper section like you did the lower and add a shed roof over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rpadge Posted Friday at 02:30 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:30 PM Take a look at how I made some adjustments, Garage-21x31-forum (1).plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rck-tech Posted Friday at 03:21 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 03:21 PM thank you Robert, that worked, I'll take it !! But I wish I knew what I did wrong ? did you just push the shed roof plane closer to the center and that fixed it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNestor Posted Friday at 05:11 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:11 PM I created a number of dormer videos that might help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rpadge Posted Friday at 06:05 PM Share Posted Friday at 06:05 PM I Changed the roof pitch of the shed dormer to 1.75/12 I believe in order to allow it to join properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RL-inc Posted Monday at 05:37 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:37 PM Just a side note but in many jurisdictions any roof under a 2/12 would require mechanically seamed metal panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
