2 pitched roofs with different angles

Anonymous

I am trying to model two pitched roofs with different angle so one has a lower eves level than the other. The geometry doesn't seem to work. Is there a way around this

it looks like it is working as expected. Stretch the roof on the left back to the wall.

In addition to what Steve indicated you may want to add a node on the roof edge adjacent to the wall so that you would only adjust the edge underneath the edge of the upper roof barge. Otherwise you will see a line on the upper roof.

Have you "Split into Single-plane Roofs" (Right-click with roof selected)

Once you split the roof, you can edit them individually allowing you to extend one roof plane under the other.
Thanks,

Thank you for the replies, they are two different roofs and on the plan I have stretched it lower one towards the wall, however in 3D it seems it does not strict under the upper roof. perhaps I need to split the part that goes under the upper roof?

When you select the small roof do you see a little connection symbol?
If so then it is still connected to the other roof and will trim automatically the portion that is below the higher roof.

Click on that symbol and delete the connection then you can stretch the lower roof under the higher one with no problems.
