Build25 Posted Friday at 08:07 PM Share Posted Friday at 08:07 PM Brand new to this program and I am trying to get my roof lines to match up. Simple build. I want the house roof line to go into the garage roof line. I know I am missing something simple, but I am unable to find it. Thanks so much for your help! (Also, I have not done the exterior finishes yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want the house ridge to align with that of the garage ridge in terms of height, you will need to lessen the roof slope of the house roof planes. This will bring the ridge down, with the house ridge intersecting the garage ridge as a "T" in plan. To do this manually, turn off auto roofs. You can then query the height of the garage roof ridge. Copy that number. Then open the adjacent house roof planes. Paste that number over to their ridge heights while making sure the roof wall plate height is locked. You should see the roof planes adjust and the ridge heights align. Hope that helps, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If helpful send a picture or sketch of what you are trying to do. I am new to CA as well..... Roofs are simple once you get the hang of it. A little daunting at first though.

Build25 Posted Friday at 11:40 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 11:40 PM Sorry I wasn't super clear. I would like the house roof plans to T into the garage roof plans. The garage gable can be higher than the house if needed. Does that make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted yesterday at 01:23 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:23 AM Sounds like you want the house roof to tee into the garage roof, with both having same ridge height. If pitch can vary, just decide whether you want the common ridge elevation to be that which the house has, or the garage. Then for the roof that you'll change, open it for spec, lock fascia height, and change its ridge to match the other ridge in height. It's easy and takes just seconds. Show us your result.

DBCooper Posted yesterday at 01:44 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:44 AM Still not sure exactly what you are trying to do. If you have a T-shaped house with gables on the ends, the ridge lines are only going to line up if the ends of the house are the same size. If they are not the same size, then you can adjust the pitch to get the ridge to line up. See pictures below as an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_N Posted yesterday at 09:53 AM Share Posted yesterday at 09:53 AM You can manually adjust the ridge like to match. Make note of the ridge height that you would like to match, then use that on the roof to be adjusted locking the facia top height. This will disable auto rebuild, so you will have to join the roof plane intersections yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Build25 Posted yesterday at 07:53 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 07:53 PM So I locked the fascia and adjusted the ridge height to meet the garage - but then this happens. Any quick fixes for this? Appreciate all the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie65 Posted yesterday at 08:07 PM Share Posted yesterday at 08:07 PM Lock the ridge height and the pitch. Let the fascia's take care of themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted yesterday at 08:34 PM Share Posted yesterday at 08:34 PM Please take the time to learn to manually edit roof planes. And the best mode for editing is 3D perspective overview, color off, vector off, toggle patterns off.

Any quick fixes for this? Appreciate all the help! You are so close. Now you need to make the roof plans join. Here is a video that I made to address this exact situation. Sorry there is a glitch in the middle that cuts off a comment in mid sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
