    Saltbox single-story garage

    Help!

    Using Home Designer Architectural 2014, I'm trying to build a single story saltbox garage with a design similar to the attached picture. I've read the help file, I've read all links and advice previously provided to no avail. The only suggestions that have sort of worked involve building a second floor which I'd like to avoid as it will render the materials list useless.

    Here are my key dimensions:

    Length - 24'
    Width - 16'
    Front wall height - 10'
    Rear wall height - 6'
    Front roof pitch - 12:12
    Rear roof pitch - 8:12

    I'm out of ideas on how to tackle this...

    Not really sure what kind of trouble you're running in to without seeing what you've already got.

    You should be able to just put in an invisible wall divider, set the Finished Ceiling Height for the back room to 6' and set the front to 10' and set up your pitches on the front and back wall to create what you want.

    Once you've generated the roof, you can turn off Auto Rebuild Roofs and delete the invisible wall.

ID:	13463That did the trick, Kat. Thanks so much!

    One lingering problem. Gable wall siding is incomplete...

    Ahhh, figured it out. Re-built the walls in clockwise fashion...
