    roof issues

    I have a gable end view with a hip roof plane. I want to break the top section of the roof plane to show a regular gable end with clapboards etc...

    How do I do this? Thanks

    I think we need a picture of what you have so far - not sure the question is clear.

    I wrote code in 1984 to make my Sinclair 100 - so I used to be a programmer! So I can say with authority how easy it is to program Chief features! ;-)

    You would like a dutch hip, right?

    This must be done manually by moving the top of the end hip down and then pivioting the two side hips until they are parallel with the end hip fascia and then add an attic wall to complete. Then move the top edge of the lower hip up to meet your attic wall.
