Hello

I have drawn a roof like showed in the attached file.

I have a problem with joining the roofs together, i have looked in the manuals but it doesn't make sense for me.

Can anyone tell me step by step, how to draw a roof like mine, and how to join the different roofs.?

I know it is basic knowledge, but I have never learned it the right way..

I assume you used the polygon method to do each plane seperately?
Using the Polyroof method (see user guide), i think, would automatically sort out most of those hips automatically (assuming all pitched equal). Would still need to adjust for extended eaves at bottom right.

To adjust hips as shown, select one of the roof planes you want to adjust, then select roof tool; holding the CTRL key (for PC, equivalent for mac) click on the edge of another roof plane you want to trim to the selected roof. Repeat as required.
