Fixing hip roof corners

[DenisUser]

Hey,

Probably a simple question, but I haven't found yet some place that shows how to do that.

Is there a better way to do a hip roof with the same eaves length, but different slopes?

If I put two parts of the roof at a different slope Archicad wants to displace the diagonal ridge at the eaves corner. Instead, it should displace the diagonal ridge so that it misses the corner of the wall but still goes into the corner of the eaves. I cannot find a way to move this ridge in the way I want it to move and automatically Archicad does what you see in the picture. Is this done only manually with single-roof planes?

Yeah thats what the truss layout shows. The triangled hip plane at the end would be a bit steeper.

Except moving the ridge will change pitch from the wall line in the OPs situation which is undesirable hence my suggested modification. The eave height is what is set, not the, in this case, "wall" height.

Thanks. This is actually what I was hoping to do. Easy to do and get the desired visual. Truss drawing is just a separate example of what I wanted. I do not need to design or show a roof structure in this case. It is a renovation project (architectural) and the rafters will probably remain as they are. This method does exactly what I want in 5 seconds.
