    Complex Shed Roof - Chapter 2

    Hi all,

    My as-built roof can be replicated (almost) but walls remain a challenge. This is a follow up on my previous `Complex Shed Roof...`post. Evaluating Home Designer Suite 2014.

    The extra attic that was being automatically generated has been fixed (I set upper vaulted rooms to no ceiling, Finished Ceiling to 95 1/2: oddly, that worked.)

    The trick suggested in article 492 to use surrogate walls to `force`the shed roofs into the needed configuration works, but I can find no way to move or remove the walls to get back to the as-built plan once the roof is created.

    Any help, or another strategy to create the shed roofs, would be greatly appreciated. Plans and current roof attached.

    Thanks, Jack

    once you have the roof perfect then remove the checkmark for auto rebuild roof. Click image for larger version.

    Ah, there is the rub...I can't get the roof 'perfect'. I have long since turned off auto rebuild roof, and very systematically delete roof...build walls, rebuild roof... tweek walls, all to no avail.
