    Roof

    The home we are remodeling was moved out to the country from town and had a gable on both ends. Then an addition was built on making the footprint and "L" shape with another gable end. Finally, the inside of the "L" was enclosed making a 3 car garage and the house footprint became a rectangle. Thus on the new gable end the peak is off center. Is there a way to draw the roof lines manually?

    Pro has manual roofs. Suite and regular Home Designer does not. But you can do a lot of creative futzing with the auto-roofs.

    Do you have a picture of what your house looks like?

    I could do this with Deluxe also. The slopes on each side of the peaks do not have to match, at all.

    Figure out the slope of each facett of the roof and set the figures into each wall definition box. The peaks will move around to match the slopes.
