PitMan71 Posted Monday at 04:42 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:42 PM What level of assistance do you need? Do you need someone to draw it for you or to give you direction on how to? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtic101 Posted Monday at 06:00 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 06:00 PM Direction. I want to learn. I just don’t know where to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PitMan71 Posted Monday at 08:16 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:16 PM Here are a couple videos that will be helpful... The first is for roofs in general. The second is for manual roofs which is what the roof becomes if you edit it directly which I am thinking you might have to do with what you have attached. Feel free to watch other videos on roofs to to get different viewpoints. It's what I did to get to where I can build most any roof.

Mark3D Posted Monday at 11:02 PM Share Posted Monday at 11:02 PM May be upload your plan file as that plan looks a bit tricky for a new learner if you cannot figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthd97 Posted Tuesday at 04:10 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:10 AM Hi @Celtic101, you have a valley meeting directly into a hip corner. That is not common practice because there is not enough room for the valley gutter to be installed. It would be advisable to push that small hip end out enough so the valley gutter fits in correctly. Next you would need to show the heights of those two roof sections that have drawn. Elevations would help. You may consider making it into one combined roof if they are at the same height level too ? It is up to the designer to know how to build a roof correctly, if not then employ a professional to help do that for you. Then look at modeling it in Chief Architect.

Celtic101 Posted Tuesday at 01:37 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 01:37 PM @mthd97so you are saying that the design is impossible if not next to impossible to create in chief? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not at all becuase it has nothing to do with the software but the layout of the roof design itself. Those two roofs should only join at a common gutter that is able to accommodate the water flow area of both roofs, if they are at the same gutter level of course. So first adjust the roof layout accordingly is what I am saying so that it all works. If you can’t figure it out on your own then please ask a roof builder. We are not obligated to support roof construction theory here but on how to use the software to construct a 3D model of the roof that is actually workable in practice and complies to building regulations. Edit: Need to consider how much space you have left to adjust the roof layout appropriately. The height level of both roofs. Then the precipitation loads applicable in your region. By no means impossible to achieve with a bit of tweaking here and there. Then after that we can show you how to build a realistic roof layout in 3D with Chief Architect. Enjoy the process !

Celtic101 Posted 23 hours ago Author Share Posted 23 hours ago @mthd97thank you for all of the help. I’ve gotten the roof to look the way I want it. (May not be entirely correct) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(May not be entirely correct) That is really good to hear, roofs can be tricky at times. Either way, by the time it comes to build it, I am sure you will get extra help along the way and it will get built correctly and dispose of the precipitation correctly. All good.
