Bay WIndow Issues

[winterdd]

Hey guys, so I inserted a bay window. Raised the floor 36" and lowered the roof 12". It's messing up my foundation and rebuilding the Fdn won't even fix it. Any suggestions?

Also, when I break the roof plan to cover the bay window bump out the gutters mess up. I I guess it's either turn off the gutters or leave as is? (The HOA wants to see gutters). I get the bay window isn't in the best place and creates an unpleasant roof but that is where the kitchen sink is and the front door are. I will look into other options for a more pleasant design but need to figure out the fix for this first.

Try turning off auto roof and foundation. Take the roof over the door and drag to the left to hit the angle on the left of the bay roof? Depending on if you have a backsplash on the counter or not, you might want to raise the bay to compensate for any trim the window might have on the interior

That definitely made it look better with the gutters. Now to figure out this foundation.

The trick to fix the FDN wasn't reworking it but stretching the wall above across the bay window and it making one entity instead of sections, if that makes sense.
