yeah it is in a 3 sections just because I had to move on with another part of the project. I have attached the CAD elevations...  I am having a few issues, one with the small bay window roofs and with the main part of the roof, and it's slopes and elevation changes.  Anything you can help with would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah that is exactly what I wanted!  My problem was not getting the ridges to line up with what I was sketching, the final roof was slightly off.

 

Thank you SO much!

I thought that the last post would help me, and it did, Now I am wondering if there is any way to do the whole roof as one pice?  All of my slopes don't seem to want to match up, even though they are all set the same.  Can anyone help with this?

If your problem is that the partial octogon roofs don't meet at the apex, then it is because of one or the other of the following:

  • Your roof is defined as offset's from the wall and they are not the same.
  • The sides of your octogon are not equal ... and by visual inspection the two pods are not the same ... so do they have differentslopes?
