convert gable to dutch gable

[SHCanada2]

I'm trying to do what I thought would be relatively simple. Change the gable to a dutch gable that looks like:

 

so the roofline is over the top plate

 

I have this, where the lower wall is broken to delineate the gable going across:

 

but if I change the 3 walls (broken, top, right lower) to duthc gable and set the in from baseline at 24" I get:

 

it looks like this:

 

the one not seen looks good, but it looks like it just ignored the hip directive on the wall to the right of the broken wall

just did, but I realize I could build it manually, and this video shows a good way to do it compared to what I would have tried.

 

But is there no automatic way to do it? and why is the program dutch gabling the whole side when I only told it to do the left portion?

 

If I make that wall back to a gable, then the front garage is correctly built as dutch gable

 

 

so it has something to do with that split wall

well..found this in home designer forum which is exactly what I am trying to do

 

L-shaped Dutch gable roof - Q&A - HomeTalk Forum

 

CA staff state: "Home Designer Pro should give you the tools to make that happen. However, you can get really close in Home Designer Suite by using the following technique:"

 

I'm not sure if the "tools" means manually or automatically

 

I tried the work around in this thread and could not get it to work
