decorators3 Posted Saturday at 08:10 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:10 PM Can I create this style of roof . I looked a the video on dual and curved roofs but not sure if it would give me the look the look the client wants. any help is always appreciated. I've attached the front angle view that he wants to change Cheers Levina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHCanada2 Posted yesterday at 01:24 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:24 AM (edited) for the first picture, wouldnt it just be a seperate roof plane on either side which starts from the top, and then goes down to the right corner of the roof,but angled? let me try Edited yesterday at 01:43 AM by SHCanada2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHCanada2 Posted yesterday at 01:49 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:49 AM (edited) I think you have to play with the pitch and rotated angle of the roof plane. But then again, maybe there is a simpler way Edited yesterday at 01:50 AM by SHCanada2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say the responses I receive from this forum is amazingly helpful Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago A warped roof like what you seem to want is either a roof-framers nightmare or his crowning achievement, as it will require tiny pitch changes with each set of rafters, bending sheathing, and more fun things. Also, it is impossible to draw using Chief roof tools, which only produce flat planar or cylindrical surfaces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para-CAD Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Gene speaks truth. i would pass on framing that. Without flat roof planes, it won’t be able to be prescriptively designed and wait till you get the bill from a structural engineer. maybe they could 3-D print it out of a large scale plastic printer and just crane it into place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHCanada2 Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago I think the roof is flat, but it is certainly not trivial. I actually did something similar on my attached garage in order to have the roof ridge be below a window at the house. I spoke to the truss guys and they were a little surprised at what I wanted. I describe it to them as reducing the peak of each truss from front to back by 1/2 inch so when I got to the house, it was 3 inches shorter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para-CAD Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago Trusses are engineered by their design software. If this is stick framed with a structural (curved) ridge for a cathedral look..................it's all do-able but the cost just went up. Not just bending roof plywood or 1x8s, but the interior ceiling surfaces all have to be curved (unless flat ceilings) Crazy fun. If they have the $$$ and desire.......go for it!
