How to add a dormer to the attic level

[Kbird]

I guess you did the Cape Cod - 1 1/2 storey tutorial did you ?

and you can't add a Shed Dormer afterwards?

edit: here is the shed dormer tutorial that flows on from the one above .......hopefully you can transfer the knowledge to your plan when done....

edit#2 just thought I'd better clarify ... I had to delete the 2nd floor after the 1 1/2 storey tutorial ,then rebuilt the 2nd floor derived from 1st flr per the Shed Dormer tut. otherwise the roof/dormer didn't generate correctly, so perhaps the CapeCod tut. isn't necessary?. I had to keep the knee wall a few inches off/short off the ceiling plane lines as well, or the roof screwed up too

Then I pulled the front wall of the dormer forward to sit over the wall below to get your house......... use select> open object>align with wall below if needed.
