Unable to create common roof configuration (T-Gable different angles on each section)

[ratcliffe_mike]

I am using Home Designer Suite 2014 and have tried searching for an answer unsuccessfully.

I have a T-Gable roof, which is a popular configuration for detached houses here in the UK (see attachment). Unfortunately I am at a loss as to how to accurately create the roof for my house. The problem is that the angle of gable 1 is 45 degrees but the angle of gable 2 should be something like 40 degrees (so both sections of the roof are the same height). Unfortunately it seems that it is only possible to have one angle that applies to all roofs.

Does anybody have a workaround for this?

Take a look and then practice with the settings in the Wall Dialog Box - Roof Tab, that is where you can set walls to build roof at a different pitch than what is globally set in the Build Roof Dialog.
Also take a look at (study then practice with) the articles found in the Build Roof Dialog - Roof Styles tab.

Another thing that is easy to find in the help if you know what you are looking for ... sorry I missed it.

Works perfectly thanks.
