Bringing Roof down from second floor

**Needshelp** · 10-13-2007, 10:08 AM

Hello....I can't figure out how to get my roof to go from my second floor down to the first on the garage. The second floor isn't a full second floor, but rather a "bonus room" that is more like the attic of the garage. Can someone please help?
Thanks

What software are you using? I'm not sure what your problem is? Is your bonus room creating a full attic and roof above it? Can you post a picture?

Yes...Thats exactly whats happening. I will try to figure out how to post a picture, because I am having other roof difficulties also.,
I am using home designer suite, by better homes.

I'm curious to see your configuration.

Is your attic above your garage or is the bonus room overlapping a structure of your house??? Not sure I understand.

my attic over the garage can be finished to a bonus room.

As Philip suggested, you really need to provide a rough sketch of your config.

Questions:

is your garage a detached garage?
Do you have a basement with 2 floors + attic?

As a guess as to your problem, attics cannot be rooms- you have to create an actual second story for the "attic room."

Export your picture (JPEG format) note the location where you save it
Make sure it's less than 100 KB (otherwise the forum won't take it)
Go back to home talk
Click on your thread to open it
scroll down and click on post reply
type your text
scroll down until you see "manage Attachments"
Click on it
Click on browse
Browse to where you saved your image
click upload
you are done

If you save it as JPG instead of JPEG, the forum will accept uploads of up to 200 KB.

Have you taken a capture of your 3D rendering by either using print screen (XP) or snipping tool (Vista)? If you have, you should be able to upload it from your 'picture' or 'document' file.

**Needshelp** · 10-13-2007, 05:14 PM

I have Vista...But I am new to it and don't know the snipping tool.
Can you help?

**Needshelp** · 10-13-2007, 05:18 PM

Snipped it.....Thanks. That works great!
Now does everyone see my dilemma?
