If I were doing this roof, I would auto build the roof so the upper roof is correct, turn off auto rebuild roofs, delete and draw manually the lower roof.Instagram in no way stops us from wondering us. Because the common wall will be set to High Shed/Gable, the upper roof will build incorrectly. The issue with doing this automatically is the upper roof. You were on the right track, just needed to add for example, High Shed/Gable to the front porch wall, and to raise the ceiling on the porch. To auto build, all the walls need to have the correct directive, and rooms need to have the correct room height. Draw a roof plane that slopes in the wrong direction, delete it and draw it 90 or 180 degrees from the first try.

Delete it and manually draw it starting over the rear wall.ĭon't take this as a jab at you, but this seems so obvious to me. Thinking about the plan first posted here, select the shed part of the roof and rotate it 90 degrees, then review it in a camera view. The baseline of the shed roof needs to be over the rear wall - that is 90 degrees from where it is in the first plan you posted. It sounds like you are familiar with the manual roof tools. GILBERT_DAN-Orthographic Full Overview.pdf I thought maybe someone has had this problem before, and so I have tried the forum. This does not seem to make any difference. I placed the higher roof in Roof Group 1 and the lower roof in Group 2. I noticed there was a roof group when opening up the Room Specification. The builder wants to have a 3 foot difference between the top of the lower roof and the top of the parapet.

Then to compound the problem, there is a parapet to be added to the upper roof only. I believe the problem comes about when you have a house with two separate ceiling heights and two independent roof planes. I understand how to do it and the elevations show correctly. If I draw a 1 room rectangular structure, I can put a shed roof on it and I can put a parapet roof on it. I then deleted the incorrect planes, and revised them manually. The current plan I attached earlier was done originally from Auto Roof build. As long as it somewhat represents what the general contractor is going to do, I can always make notes or call out design criteria to ensure the house is built correctly. I don't care how it is drawn as long as it appears in the elevations and renderings correctly. I have tried to do the roof planes manually. I have tried to do the roof planes automatically. I can be a little "snarky" at times, my nickname comes honestly. I understand Eric, and I am aware you are just trying your best.
