I need to be able to draw a cathedral style ceiling, but offset from the center. Essentially this is a saltbox style roof, but with no second floor. One exterior support wall is several feet higher than the other. Any ideas? I can draw the structure using a hip wall on the second floor, but I want the ceiling to be the roof

thanks

This is actually very easy to do and I think there is a video in the library on this subject.  If you set the baseline of the roof plane at the elevation you need the lower wall on the rear side of the home should auto-generate to that point.

Is this what you are looking for?

This was done by making both end walls Gable Walls.

Use 2 manual roof planes with identical locked ridge

heights and 2 different eave heights. In this case I

used a 4 x 12 ridge beam and 4 x 6 rafters. Remove

the room ceiling and change the roof sheathing material

to tongue & groove.
