Troubles with Bay Window

[Cadwork22]

Having issues with the bay window.  I know it sounds simple, but I can't figure to limit its height, etc.  I've attached a plan if that's helpful.

I need a 72W 36D 60 degrees.  I can adjust the windows.  Just need the structure above the front porch/patio.

Thanks in advance,

Hey Michael, I think you might need to be a bit more descriptive about what your issue is. For example, when describing the width of the bay as 72w, do you mean the width of the bay at narrowest portion or the width at the widest portion (where it connects to the main wall)? Or are you referring to the width of the widest window?

 

When specifying a bay in Chief, the width is the widest portion. So if you want 72 at the narrowest portion, you'll just need to do a bit of math to determine what value to enter (hint...it's 9.46'). Or you could explode the bay and then you'll be able to add more dimension lines.

Basically, I'm just trying to snap the thing in place and then work the dimensions.

 

I've managed to create a small bay window, any advice on a roof, without building the roofs for the rest of the structure.
