SC_drafting Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Hey everyone- I'm trying to build a roof like this, but don't know what its name is, so I can't look up how to do it. tried to use google image search and it told me it was a shed roof (duh), a monitor roof, and a clerestory roof, none of which really fit. Does anyone know the correct name for this style or how to build it without resorting to manual planes or cheats? Thanks, much appreciated.

Rookie65 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Looks like 3 shed roofs. Nothing to over think about it. Adjust the room heights for each room, set your pitch, and off you go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC_drafting Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 My thought (which may be dumb) was to keep the wall heights on the back the same and only alter the pitches of the planes. I don't know how to change the pitches while using automatic rebuild- I've tried breaking the wall and defining different pitches by wall, but they change the whole roof, not just that portion.

Rookie65 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 With the picture you showed, it looks like the 2 sides are the same height, while the middle is taller. So set the 2 side rooms to whatever rough ceiling is needed, and the middle room taller. You can keep the pitch the same for all of the roofs.

SC_drafting Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 That could work. Out of curiosity, do you know of there would be a way of doing that, but then changing the pitches of the roofs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie65 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Change the pitch right in the roof defaults. Spend some time reading the reference manual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC_drafting Posted Friday at 05:54 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 05:54 PM I did take a look at that, but didn't see that it explained how to do quite what I was after- change the pitches of multiple shed roof planes based on the same wall.

Rookie65 Posted Friday at 06:58 PM Share Posted Friday at 06:58 PM You won't be able to change one pitch to something different if you have auto-build roof on. You're not very clear on what you are trying to match up. If you want the rear wall to be where the roofs start, then change the fascia to the same heights, lock it, then change the pitch of the middle roof, if that's the one you want to change.

Jo_Ann Posted Friday at 09:18 PM Share Posted Friday at 09:18 PM I see all 3 sections as "high shed" roof. Using auto roof requires trickery. Manual roof plane is easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true. Leave auto Roofs on and select the wall(s) on the back side and set the pitch there. Break the wall into 3rds so that you can adjust accordingly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
