SC_drafting Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago 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 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC_drafting Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago 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 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago 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 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago 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 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago 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...
