Problem with Roof line on addition
Hello.
I am building an addition to my cabin at the lake and bought Chief Architect Suite pretty much solely to see what the cabin would look like with a shed / hip style roof on the addition. It wouldn't do it so I upgraded to Architectural....still nada. For a one off project it isn't worth it to upgrade AGAIN to the $500 version (gave in after many many hours of trying and DID buy HD Pro 2014) . I heard with that version roof lines are a breeze. I am still trying to get it.
Is there any way that some nice soul out there could add a 4/12 pitch shed / hip style roof joining to the gable of the 12/12 pitch main cabin roof like my cut and hack "paint" that I threw together? (If not, the helping me get there would be good too.)
There is an existing window that is about 4 ft x 4 ft on the gable that the shed / hip roof will join onto. I can't get that window to show up either (just a shadow of it shows up). To achieve what I need to achieve I will change the size of the window to as small as I need too or remove it .
My plan is 11 mb and too large to attach here.
This link SHOULD work:

Well, I did this You Tube fix up on your plan for you to view. I did it manually in Chief Architect X5 but it could also be fixed using exactly the same tools available in Pro 2014. I then tried it "Automatically" which did not go well so I un-did that and stayed with my manual result. The reason the window was not showing up was because you had two walls occupying the same space, so I deleted one of them so the window on the second floor could then display properly (I did that before I started the video, sorry, so you will just have to take my word for that).
