gable wall

[Sylwia K-G]

hi 

I am not working from vectorworks long ( just has started) and I cant solve my problem. Tried youtube etc. - nothing 😞

How I can to update / create / split a roof for a partly gable wall.  Means main roof need have a gable but garage roof is a problem because it is one surface so I can not use edit roof settings / edit edge shape tool. 

Hopefully the attached drawings will explain my problem

thanks for any help

That Roof Plan doesn’t seem to match the model.

 

Based on the sketch over the model, I would cut the left roof back to the ridge of the right roof.  Then I would extend the right roof to fill the space indicated by your sketch.  Finally, the left roof would need to be trimmed to conform to the right roof.  You might then want to trim the right roof where the left one  intersects, if the attics are to be joined.

If I'm understanding correctly you want the main roof to have a gable at each end. If you select the roof then click on the blue anchor and select Gable.

Yes, I want gable for each end but it is impossible in edit roof settings because top roof is linearly with main one 

i cant find solution

The main roof is one roof so no problem to have a gable each end. You then draw the other roofs. If it was me I would draw the other roofs as roof faces as you can clip them in plan view. The Connect/Combine tool is also very useful. As always in Vectorworks there are often several ways to achieve the same result.
