For each of the end walls where you want a gable, select the wall and in the dbx check Full Gable Wall.
To place the gables in the middle sections, use the Wall Break tool to place breaks in the long walls where you want the gables to sit (making sure that the two wall sections are the same length and perfectly aligned with each other). Then select each of those wall sections and make it a Full Gable Wall. Then build your roof.
If you did it correctly, the roof will come out right. If you didn't do it correctly, you'll have a screwy looking roof and you'll need to go back to the step about making sure the wall sections are perfectly aligned!
I can't help you with that glass panel question, though. You mean a panel like a window?Kathleen Moore

David,
Unfortunately I don't think you can do it in your version. In Pro you can just shape a fixed glass panel window into a triangle, or rhombus, or whatever shape you want pretty much. Can you adjust the shape of the windows in your version?Kathleen Moore

You can do it in Suite by going into the attic and changing the gable wall material to glass. Unless you want all your gables to be glass, change the wall type to something different (a type you are not using) first. You can then use soffits to put in muntins, if you want them.

Does that help? BTW the Manage Attachments is right under this screen shot, below the Post Icons, and below the Submit Reply.

David, can you attach a floorplan with the roof built, so I can see where it's screwing up, or at least describe what's happening? There's no reason the method I outlined shouldn't work, unless something is amiss with your walls.

Some times it is easier to add or remove walls to get the roof built.
Extending them here makes it easier to know where to add the wall breaks and name those parts Full gables..
After the roof is built,fix the walls to the way you want them..Allen Colburn Jr.
