connecting garage to house? (roof)

[Curtis Johnson]

Just draw a couple of roof planes - one on the front side of the house and one on the back side - with the ridgle line perpendicular to the front walls of house and garage. Make sure the fascia height and/or baseline heights are the same as your garage. I don't know what your ridge height will be because you haven't been clear as to what the depth of the connection between house and garage is. If the distance from the front of your house to the back of the wall that is common to the house and garage is less than the width of the front of the garage, then the ridge of the connecting roof planes between house and garage will be lower than the ridge of the garage. Then, you should be able to manually connect these two roof planes with the garage roof plane facing the house. It may be easier to create a "V" with the garage roof plane facing the house for this to work. Without knowing what dimensions you are working with you may run into the situation where you can't connect the roof planes without going past zero (or however the msg is worded). If you can show us your floor plan it will be easier to explain how to do what you need to do.
