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 Sunday at 01:24 AM Share Posted Sunday 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 Sunday at 01:43 AM by SHCanada2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHCanada2 Posted Sunday at 01:49 AM Share Posted Sunday 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 Sunday at 01:50 AM by SHCanada2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, maybe there is a simpler way sounds like it could work I'm working on a few ways trying to figure it out. 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 Sunday at 03:41 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:41 PM 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 Sunday at 04:43 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:43 PM 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 Sunday at 05:14 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:14 PM 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 Sunday at 06:40 PM Share Posted Sunday at 06:40 PM 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!

SHCanada2 Posted yesterday at 06:02 AM Share Posted yesterday at 06:02 AM I dont see a curve in the picture. Are they looking for a curved roof, or just a declining ridge at a set decline pitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiAngelo Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago How long is ridge beam span inside the building? How far is it cantilevering past the windows to support the prow? And is there a king post under the ridge beam splitting the window into separate units? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHCanada2 Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago (edited) 9 hours ago, decorators3 said: no .. not a curved roof just a slight gable uplift towards the front of the perch then I see two different scenarios. 1. you can do it as I showed, or 2, build it with declining pitched full span trusses all the way to where the left of your blue line is. I think 2, would be the better option, but to model it in chief, I think(but maybe others have a better way) you would have to create like 20 roof planes, each very narrow from the top down to the eave, and each with a slight decreasing pitch, from right to left. You could try start using 24" spacing for the roof planes, but I'd not sure how the 3d would look. my guess is it would show too disconnected at the top If I were you, I'd call the truss company to see what their thoughts are Edited 12 hours ago by SHCanada2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
