Thanks for trying..but
Lew;
Thanks for trying to help, but the directions for another software publisher did not help. They seem to simply have a button to click to provide the saddle. I have a 2 story colonial with a single story family room adjacent and parallel. I need to be able to bridge this "Valley" between the roofs. Any ideas on how to do it manually? There must be a way, I can't believe Chief has neglected this common occurance! Thank you!

Have you tried just drawing the roof planes manually?
If you were to post a picture of what you have now, it will likely get you more specific answers.Allen Brown

My post was to indicate that Chief doesn't have that feature and to explain what a saddle roof is.
