bill johnsonParticipantFirst of all thank you guys for allowing me to join your forum. I have searched thru the forum to find this solution but I could not but I am sure someone has already had this problem. I have attached a model that illustrates my issue on the gable end walls they are not completely filled in I added some interior walls thinking that would solve my problem but it did not if you open my example that is attached you will see what i am talking about I am sure it will display the problem better than i can explain it. this is created with virtual architect pro 11

If you still can’t figure it out let me know and i will post pics on here with directions for you but don’t have time this morning.
Thanks

- Make a building location that is for roofs ,(the same as your Ground floor location.)
- Draw roof on Ground floor location. (all gables off)
- Select roof, duplicate to Roof location.
- Draw in your gable end walls with auto extend enabled ( I have a wall set just for drawing in gable ends
- Elevate them to your ground floor wall height.
I use this method on all my drawings it the best I have come up with. but not saying its the only option . would like to hear more.
