You can then delete all the ugly prow room walls, AND raise the 2nd floor ceilings to the height you want them. When the roof is correct, you will turn OFF auto-build roof. Maybe Kbird can come up with an easier way!? LOTS of tweaking here with floor and ceilings heights. The front prow roof was done by adding a blank 3rd floor that only consisted of the tiny prow rooms. It will save you a lot of headaches if you need to go back to a place where things were going good. I had to set the front 'room' to a 3" ceiling height to make the roof join correctly.ĭepending on your own dimensions, this may be different (this is where the tweaking begins).Īt this point I recommend that that you start doing a 'save as' for each stage of the project that you get right. The back room was then set to a 107" ceiling height.
Like Kbird said, you should rebuild the 2nd floor with "0" ceiling height, add the invisible walls that are needed, and start setting all your roof wall types and pitches. To begin with, You should NEVER start drawing your interior room walls until the roof is correct! Delete them.ĪLSO, the 2nd floor gambrel roof rooms are NOT dormers. However, it took a LOT of tweaking and resetting ceiling heights (they kept changing automatically). This is what I was able to build using auto roof.

Started to play around with it (guessing sizes) but out of time tonight so no full gable yet. The Roofs all appear to be built at approx. the second floor flooring level which is why I suggested the 0" height Room while building the roof, it gets set back later to normal height later and auto-roofs gets turned off. You need Gambrel settings over the garage outer walls and the RH area's 2 outer walls as well, the two outer most walls will need to be "Broken" ( wall break tool) as each top 1/2 will be gable, bottom 1/2 Gambrel The Offset Gable is also called a Saltbox Roof in HD and there is a Tutorial here for that : Thanks again for the input and help wrestling with this.ĭefinitely going to be tough with Suite but there are tutorials for the basic Roof types which should get you close then you'll need to play around with settings and invisible walls since you only have Auto Roofs. If the answer is to use the dormer tool and create another level with knee walls, how do I get the very big dormer to go all the way to the edge? If the suggestion is actually to create a third level with zero height on one side, how do I avoid having effectively a third level on the side with regular height?
#Set auto build roofs on chief architect software#
Regarding, " you can probably add a second floor with zero ceiling height to achieve this", would that be a replacement for the current second floor in my project, or actually a third floor we're using to trick the software to do what we want? If this is intended to be a modification of my current second floor, how do I get windows on the size with zero roof height and how do I split the entire space into two rooms lengthwise given that I already have multiple rooms that don't run in parallel set up? I have already designed two floors in my project with the living spaces the house has. For my purposes, I don't need it to be exact, but I'd like to get as close as I can.
I recognize that my software version might not work to fully match this roof. I don't have a picture of the RH side, but it's a mirror image of the LH side.
