Gambrel Roof Overhang

[Cliffy]

Is there a way to create a curved overhang on a gambrel Roof (As seen in Dutch colonial architecture) in chief pro?

Cliffy,

The short answer is a qualified "yes" ... but it isn't easy, nor is it an automated function. Because Pro has manual roof tools, you can build just about any roof configuration provided you spend the time and effort to do so.

To start, I propose reviewing this article on curved roofs in the Help Database: http://www.homedesignersoftware.com/...faqNumber=1187

The method to achieve a curved gambrel will be similar to the technique discussed in that article, but you will need to adapt it to achieve your desired end result. Rather than create a convex roof surface as described in the article, you'll be creating a concave one instead.

Hope this helps.
