connecting garage to house? (roof)
I am trying to connect a two story house to a single story garage. Both gables are facing you. I can't get the garage roof to form an adjacent roof line to attach to the side of house.

Can you post a pic, I think I have an idea what you are asking but a pic would help.

I can't see your picture very well. It's too small on my screen. If you are wanting a walk thru between the house and garage, in the attached picture, invisible walls were used to form a room definition between the two. Make sure the room definition has a roof above. Should build automatically as Neal stated above.

The garage is connected by a typical outside house wall with no breezeway, a door is in the garage. I used create gable/roof line to get the roof but it isn't recognized.

Cliff, the house is a two story with no windows on the attaching garage side. My problem is the two roof lines are facing you, I need to have the attaching roof line form two valleys with the ridge line perpendicular to the house and garage. I'm trying to post a picture.

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.

Garage Roof
This is actually what I think you are trying to do. I incorrectly said for the connecting roof planes' ridge to be perpendicular when in fact it is parallel as shown.Attachment 6848
Attachment 6849
Attachment 6850
I tried to auto build this roof but I couldn't get the garage roof planes to come out right so I manually completed the garage roof although the roof over the house automatically built OK. I am not sure what I have going on with the 2nd floor walls - I couldn't get them to close up. Like I mentioned in my earlier post, the dimensions of your plan will dictate how the connecting roof planes will come together. Hope this helps.Last edited by Curtis Johnson; 07-19-2006 at 04:05 PM.

Does anyone see what else is needed on the roof as I have displayed it in my previous post?

Lower the Cricket, keep ridge at same elevation as Garage or lower......for looks sake, I'd lower it.
