Dave, that worked perfect! If I could bug you one more time. Any suggestions on how to build dormers on a shed roof?

Thanks Dave. I'll look at that option. * What plate height should I use?

I am designing our cabin and it will have a shed style roof. The low side will be 9' and the high side will be 12'.
Any tips on how to build the side walls since they will be at an angle? Can I do this with Housebuilder as a wall, or do I have to build each piece of lumber?

Thank you
Jim

Thank you for your feedback. I apologize for you having to take the time to answer my post. I know many have done it through this thread.
When I posted my question I was only reading the posts and I did not register yet. Once I registered all the links everyone posted worked. I found the correct link (I think it was yours) and it loaded and started working fine. Once this happened I tried to go back and delete my question but it had not been approved yet.
Again, sorry to waste your time but thanks again for helping.

Jim

Hello, i am having trouble loading Housebuilder. I have a Mac v10.10.5 and i just downloaded Sketchup version 2017. I downloaded Housebuilder from the Ruby library and changed the files from .rb to .rbz. I then go to extention manager and click install extension. I find the Housebuilder files and they are clickable. When I try to install the files it lets me click them but a window opens stating they could not be installed.

• Apparently my Mac auto unzips the files and I cannot find where to change that option.

Thanks for any help
Jim
