    Question 1 building 2 gables with matching ridgelines

    Try as I might, I can not seem to get the small offshoot's gable to match the ridgeline of the main house.

    I am sure that there is a way, but I have been unable to decipher one from reading the threads and tutorials.

    All suggestions and instructions are greatly appreciated.

    It's basic geometry.

    If the Ceiling Heights are the same, then you need to increase the Pitch on the two side walls to have that gable meet up with the other.

    In my attached example, the pitch on the larger structure is the default 6/12, and the two side walls (indicated by wall hatching) are 8 1/2, but you might need to play around with the setting to find the right pitch for your particular plan.
