Roof planes

[mjrsr0403]

I have two roof planes on the same roof on a house that I'd like to combine into one. I set them up to be produced as one with the build roof function. I've attempted to make sure the gable ends are equal and directly opposite, but somehow, they just don't merge.

A zip file with a jpeg showing the two planes is attached, along with the plan file. I've messed with this for hours but can't get it to work out. 'Any suggestions? Thanks.

try post #12 in this thread

if I understand your question, two roof planes will always remain as two roof planes

Warren's method gives a single roof plane

but I'm not sure if it will work for gables ???

just throwing out ideas - cause I'm not really sure what you are after

See if this is what you need......I don't see what version you're using, but this is done in X4. You may want to attach the version you're using, to your signature. Would be helpful getting the correct reply.

I am not going to send the CA file back. (edit - but I guess Cliff will) That would be too easy. See the attached pics. You have a wild roof slice going off to the ridge throwing things off. You need to correct this and get rid of that small roof section to the right (in my images) of the dormer projection. Then take the main roof and extend it, cut it up and reattach everything. I used the tool to move viewing that main roof up one level so that I could do the alignment with the dormer.

That should be one plane. Make sure they are the same height and it will go together automatically.

i would recommend this if there is no any restriction.added is a gable formed by extension of the left one. smooth transitions increase aesthetics which some times govern, this is my view only and no other alteration and moved walls.

look at the selection i think this is the 2nd inquiry. if you r interested in the revised plan i will attach.

Thank you RJ for posting this plan.

This is a perfect example of auto roofs going awry.

[perryh]

The reason the little 2nd flr roof section dosn't auto generate well, is the fact the 2nd floor walls are not the same length from the back wall. The wall dims. are off.

I disagree, line up walls , auto build roofs, post plan and we will see.

[perryh]

I'm just saying the little roof offset was created by the side walls that weren't the same length. It worked for me. I wouldn't do that automatically on that plan anyway but I think it could be done.

Sorry , again I disagree. I think the reason is as stated in video. It is a function of the defined plate hts. At first and second floor. I do agree with you that requires manual built roofs.

[dshall]

I should say it is a little of both, so I think you are correct to a point, but the overiding factor is the defined plate hts at first and second floor. Not a bad thing, just the way it is.

[perryh]

Then why did it work for me when I fixed the walls.

I can not explain what you see, but if you watch part 3 I think you will understand what I am saying. Again, I thank RJ for this post because I believe it is very informative.
