    UnHappy Roofing help needed

    Hi,

    I'm gonna move into a new house soon and am working on some designs for it.
    I've got the lay-out done but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to do the roofs.

    Everytime I try, *something* will happen (ie open space in between floors, extra walls being created, roofs floating in mid-air)


    I'm just hoping someone will be kind enough to do the roofing for me? For someone who actually knows what he/she is doing it shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes: it's all flat roofs except for one small piece that's in an angle.

    so... someone? anyone?

    thanks in advance!

    Here's the plan

    please be gentle, it's my first project

    everything should have a flat roof, except for the bedroom looking out into the backyard, like this:

    Edit: seems I got most of it to work after I rebuilt everything.
    The angled bedroom roof with dito window remains a mystery to me though, any help is highly appreciated

    Based on your information, and lets be honest, you have not provided very much via that blurry image from Google Maps, I did something. What I did may have nothing to do with your building but, I did something.
