3 Sided bay window roof

[Maxie Small]

In this area of the country a 3 sided bay window is common. How can i get CA60 to draw the roof over the bay window with a level ridgeboard. I have a 12/12 on all roofs but i get a pitched ridgeboard at about 8.5/12. Is this a manual situation and how would you start the roof sections without a place for a base. I'm somewhat frustrated with this.

Sorry for your frustration, I have been there.
Yes, it sounds like a manual roof tool application to me, though I don't think I fully understand what your exact question/problem is yet(not enough data/discription).

You might try using additional walls placed outside of the window, build roofs auto or manual, adjust settings in the roof section show items, edit the ridge polyline then delete the additional walls after you have things where you want them. I do this for bay windows and it seems to work ok.
