gambrel roof with dormers
I am a newbie and I am working on redesigning two different houses. I have questions for both, but for now I'll just go for one.
I have a two story dutch colonial. I am trying to recreate it in Home Designer 8.0. I have looked at pub 359 that explains how to create a gambrel roof, however, when I edit the "horizontal" walls to change the pitch and baseline, no matter what I do, the lower pitch always snaps to the upper pitch. Is it me?
I'm thoroughly confused....
OK, I followed "359" to the letter and the lower pitch continually snaps to the upper upon entering the upper pitch. So, as I hit build roof, I see pitch is 6 in 12. That's the pitch the lower keeps snapping back to. So I change it to 18 in 12 and low and behold, I get the roof I want. Cool.
But, the attached garage on the house has a gable roof and you should see that. It's about three stories high in order to accomodate an 18/12. "Sigh"
