It seems like a pretty simple hip roof with a couple dormers. What is difficult about it?

I have only done flat roofs so far. I am not sure how to create the dormers and how to create the cut off in the second picture.

Surely this is the wrong forum. I would have thought that this was SO basic that the topic ought to be in the 'Installation / New User' forum.

Come on, people. Be nice.

Here's an article from ArchiGuide on Line on creating dormers. Lots of other useful information in these archives, as well.

after you've created your hip roof with the automatic hip roof method, SPLIT the roof to form a gable end.

Thanks Dwight!

Oh, and Mike S "Mr. Wrong Forum", I thought making a roof falls under " Working in Archicad". Let me apologize to you. It was my fault. And I am also sorry about the "stupid and simple" question you Archicad god.

Instead of given me a hint on how to do it you have the time to write some arsey comment. I think you are a w****r, and since you are so smart and from the UK you will probably know what that means. Regards!

Hey! That's the wrong forum for that stuff. You should post a new topic. "D******s."

I see that you depict this wastrel life condition with your own avatar.

Another game is to slightly modify the derisive term, expanding it into a whole new realm of suggestive ambiguity: "winker."

This is a nice method of doing this, but I cant seem to get it to work, whenever I've needed to put a gable end on a hip roof, I've always drawn the hip roof and then grabbed all the points from say the left side of the peak and dragged the nodes to the edge to create a gable, the way [Dwight] described seems much more efficient and leaves less room for error, but I cant seem to work it out I just made a new file to practice, and I drew a hip roof, and then selected it, did edit->split and drew a line across the roof, and then selected on one side of the line, but nothing seems to happen, the line disappears and the command closes... any ideas?

cheers,
dan
