Mark_Peterson Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I'm having trouble drawing the roof attached in the jpg file. I tried the dormer tools, but it won't place it. I want to have the two gables at the front of the house, with a gable roof that sets back from the entry as in the jpg. Any suggestions to get that roof the work? 235 St Francis Final 02012016 2 Dormers.plan.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution DavidJPotter Posted March 17, 2016 Solution Share Posted March 17, 2016 Here is the edited file (in X8) and a You Tube video of me fixing it: https://youtu.be/5U5kZ9PPWkk DJP 235 St Francis Final 02012016 2 Dormers.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_Peterson Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Wow David! I didn't expect that!Thanks so much, that's pretty close to what I was looking for. I think I might move that center gable further up the rake of the roof. That little building out back is a shed roof pool equipment shed. I haven't fixed that, but that is not part of the remodel, but yes that was funky.I have several versions for the facade of this plan and I am just going through all options. Can I post those here and get your input? Again thank you immensely, you threw some real knowledge in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_Peterson Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 David, I loaded the plan, so what I think I'll do is what I said earlier and move that middle section back , which would create valleys on either side. So I will try to move that roof plane back further, like in that jpg. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_Peterson Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Hi David, Here's that PDF of the options I think work the best for the facade. I think the option you so graciously walked through has too small an entry to work effectively. This PDF has two options, two views of each option. I know which one I'm leaning to, I would value your opinion if you could offer. Thanks! 235 St Francis Facades Options.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_Peterson Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 David, one more thing. I was successful in pulling that middle gable back from the file you sent to me. But I could not pick up from your video how that wall below that gable generated. When I pulled that middle gable back everything worked but that wall didn't generate, how did you generate that wall.
