Roof help please

[AZZUR]

Hy everyone.

Im using chief architect x3. And im having problem with the roof.. Here is how it needs to look...thank you all for your time

You need to post the plan so we can see your problem.

The compound eaves are set up per wall dialog box, first and second pitch input boxes.

You set the steepest pitch via the input box for pitch in the Build Roof dialog first.

From the way the front elevation is drawn, I doubt that the person who drew that knew what they were doing (I see a line that makes no sense in the roof planes but it just doesn't look "right", might have been a mistake etc). Like Richard Wey noted the single offered elevation is not enough to tell you in detail how to do this roof.

In fact that elevation alone is not enough data by itself. If the plans you have, have been altered (customized) since they were drawn originally (in other words if the plan view has been altered in any way as to dimensions) those changes will directly effect the resulting geometry of the roof.

Without the floor plan, ceiling heights and other data about the plan no one on Earth could, step by step walk you through how to set up this roof manually so the roof generator could at least get close.
Then how you finish up manually is not easily described using just words.

How you set up for automatic roof generation is mainly found in the "Roof Styles" tab of the "Build Roofs" dialog and works the same way whether you are using Chief or any of the several "Home Designer" consumer software titles it offers - all the same settings.

Normally the roof is on the top - you have it on the side wall. That may be the problem ?

I'm not sure that's a Chief drawing your looking at. I think he wants to re-create this look and if he can do it.

Perry,

Me thinks Kevin is having the poster and us "on" for a little "cute" joke.

What's the problem-o? Looks as if you have drawn it already.

Are those flared eaves curved?

[perryh]

Hay, joking the jokester, I just wont have it, but I'm sure I could do that roof, given some time in the loony bin.

Hey everybody, I am using a clarinet but I need it to sound like a French horn.

I need to sound like Allesio Allegrini, thank you for all your help, but I will never respond to any posts you make.

Andy, when I first read the initial post I thought of you.... I just knew you would help out.

[carpenterguy]

As I said in my first post I will never respond to any posts, so consider this a non-response response.

Thank you.

Andy.



DOH!!!

[David J. Potter]

Andy,

Thanks for the introduction to "Allesio Allegrini", he is really good and I love his body-English while playing (interesting), that sort of thing really tells you how into what an Artist is doing while he or she is doing it.

I do hope the affluence of wit that this post has attracted has not overwhelmed the original poster's patience and forbearance, I mean he or she made a request for help and information and it was probably their first time to attach an image so I am inclined to give the person a break and just try to help.

Since they have been mum to the avalanche of BS that ensued instead of actual help, it may mean that he or she thinks we are not serious about help and are in fact just a barrel of monkeys with nothing productive or pro-survival to do.

You decide.

I think his question was so vague, nobody knows where to start. Do you understand what he was having difficulty with.

[David J. Potter]

Scott,

I think you can tell that I thought there was too much missing data to answer with any useful certainty and is moot unless Azzur ever responds again.

I was hoping he/she would give more data and so forth but sure there was not enough data, evidence to proffer anything other than guesses and generalizations.

I am a little peeved at the gratuitous levity offered instead of considering that Azzur had a serious problem and needed it solved with to-the-point help and got cheap shots instead. We were all "new" to this forum and this software once, do keep that in mind in the future.

I'd rather not read any justifications of how "OK" it was to poke fun at a person who made their first post, needed help and did not get it no matter the cause or justification.
