V Shape roof

[rvakili]

Hi All,

I am trying to create a V Shape roof.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

It's called a Shed Roof.

See the attached pictures on how to make the roof a shed.

Rick,
I think he called it a V shaped roof because if you look at his attachment closely, the higher end of the roof is of steeper pitch than the lower end. I've not seen a roof like that and wonder why you'd want it like that?

Phil,

I thought he just didn't draw a straight line. If what you say is true then some sort of a Gull Wing or in this case a "half a gull wing".

Is this what you want rvakili?

It is called a "gambrel" roof. I can be created in Deluxe and Pro, at least.

Vrakili: your software product vesrion is required to know your software's capabilities.

There is a parameter to set in the wall dbx for two slopes. Once the option is selected more boxes will become enabled.

Barns typically use this gambrel roof style except it v's outward instead of inward.

This may also be done using dormers with shed style/option selected. You would make a roof slope with upper slope and then place a dormer on the roof, the whole width (I think you can make them that wide?)

This style is usually seen where people added a new addition onto an older builder.

Larry,

If you look at a Gambrel Roof, it is the opposite of what he wants. Is there a Reverse Half Gambrel?

In a Gambrel, the lower portion is a "ridge" in his drawing according to Phil he wants a slight "valley".

Take another look at his picture.

Hi Rick,

The roof fits my design and helps me to collect the rain water more efficiently for re-use. The roof will be used for a cabin.

Hi Ramin,

Glad the roof was what you want. Attached you will find the way I named the walls and you can see the settings I used to create the roof pitches.

You will probably need to modify it somewhat to fit your design.

Thanks a bunch, daydreamer.

It is truly appreciated.
