Merging roofs with 2 different pitches with Instant Roof?
-
Hello! So I'm fairly new to the Instant Architecture sweet but it's amazing and I'm loving it so far. I'm trying to model a house and I'm trying to combine the eave end of a gable roof that has one pitch to meet a shed roof over a porch at a different pitch. I haven't figured out how to do this as one roof but maybe there's a manual way to achieve it? I know how to merge roofs but how do you do it when you have two different pitches?
I've attached an image for reference. Thanks!

I mostly been using Instant Architect for windows and doors but I was looking around this afternoon and it has dual pitch rood option under parameters. Only problem is that it construct the dual pitch on both sides instead of your example for either a porch or patio. Try messing around with that anyway.
You'll want to check off "double slope." You can generate one side with the double slope and the other side as a "single slope." The slice each side through the centerline of the ridge and join them together. Keep in mind that Instant Architect does not generate parametric components so it's a matter of trial and error.
Look here: Instant Roof Nui Roof - Parameters
And here: Instant Roof
Maybe contact Chuck at Vali Architects in addition to watching some instructional video he has for the basics.
