how to create a raised portico roof

Anonymous
Not applicable
I'm trying to create a front facade for a house that has a raised portico roof with an extended front porch

what I'm doing is placing two seperate roofs in floor plan, looking at it in 3d plan and then using the connect>trim roof

It looks fine in front elevation and all but when I look at it in floor plan the roofs do not look right.

heres screen shot of my plan


heres how I would like it to look


any help would be appreciated as roofs are not my strong point in archicad.
thanks in advance

I agree, best way to draw a seperate roof.
You could change the roof selection settings to change the look of the roof.
Change the floor plan display settings of the roof (show on stories).
