I am using Punch Version 21.0.8 (210907.1)
Home design studio 21 on a MAC
I am trying to design a 9.375:12 pitch roof that has a 30 foot span (15 ft run)
Intersecting that roof is a shed dormer this is 4:12 pitch and has an 8 ft interior front wall.
When I add it to the main roof, I am unable to control the cheek wall lengths (I know its doing the angle math based on the 8ft height of the front wall) BUT I have the ends of the rafters sticking out of the roof in the rendering. Is there any way to set that roof (make the angle and position fixed) then shorten the interior walls?
See images attached.

Hi there, In your images, I can see several issues. I am not sure if they are drawing problems or the project characteristics (that I don't know, so I can't comment  ). I am assuming that you are using Dormer Walls. If so, set the correct lengths, angles (both) and alignment. Also, it is important that you organize the walls' settings. If you have my eBook for Mac 21, you will find this section on page 36, Also, you can create these dormers with the Dormer Tool (Roof Tab). However, this depends of your project. Hope this helps. |

thanks for the quick reply, I used the dormer tool and the dormer side walls are set with the right angle. If I change the all lengths it throws everything off. I added an image of my dormer set up By the way your link is not working for me, I get a 404 error Screenshot 2025-04-02 at 1.34.32 PM.png (41kb) downloaded 3 time(s).thanks Michelle

Glad to know that the problem is solved!  Regarding the link: perhaps is a problem in your browser? I checked with different computers and browser and it works fine. Anyway, you can check the eBook in my website => www. punchhelpers.com => eBooks => Punch => Mac Hope this helps. |
