Gable roof

[David P]

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..

yeap thanks Allen I can see how this would work..we think we want to put a gable across the middle section and hip roofs on the 'leg' sections of the H but I think your idea would still work.......

Yes, actually the way Allen did it is exactly the way I did it, then just deleted the unneeded walls.

From your plan, it looks like you haven't set the end walls (top and bottom ends of the H arms) as gable walls. All four of those walls, plus the two ends of the crossbar, need to be set as full gable walls.

Oh wait, I just re-read the part about wanting hip roofs on the ends. In that case, you need to make sure that Full Gable Wall is UN-checked for those 4 walls.

Kathleen by unchecked what do you mean ? Sorry about the over time !

Un-checked ==> not checked. Turned off. Not a selected option.

Right?
