Good day Sir/Ma'am,

I would like to ask how to create shed type roof in this complex floor plan. I tried to create the roof and the result is this (FRONT ELEVATION AND EAST ELEVATION). It has a huge gap between the second roof and the first roof. I want it to look like this (MY SKETCH). I want the two roofs to be on level not slanted. I also attached the floor plan here.

Thanks in advance guys.

Try to create both roofs seperatly..then you can adjust height..

Your sketch would be true if your roof was square in plan but with the floor plan you show, that would not be the case.  The only way you could get the look of your sketch would be with a mansard front and flat roof behind it or if your lower roof was rectanguler but had one heck of an overhang on the east end.

You need a closure wall on the south side of the high roof area.
