Roof Join Problems

[cphubb]

I am haveing problems getting roof joins to work properly. I am trying to make a 2 valleys connect with the main roof, but the outside tails need to have different eve heights. See attached image. Anybody have a good method for this. Every one I try either results in even height eves, or errors on completing the sketch.

From the help manual that I found worked: If the the 2 roofs are by sketch, first joint the roof edge of the 2 to the wall, and then to the main roof

I'm trying to create a roof with a clerestory by extending a section of the ridge - see rendering - I did this by creating two roofs, one has a hole whule the other overlaps it. This works fine in rendered views but the "Roof Join" tool won't join the roofs and the roof plan shows extra lines - You can also see them in the hidden line view.

Any suggestions?

Use Join Geometry here.

Sweeeet! Worked well.

Tried it on another, more complex roof I'm messing with and it didn't work there - unfortunately with no F2 command window to switch to, I'm not sure why/how it failed - no error messages - picked both roofs and pretty much nothing happened.

Will try messing with it further when I have more time.

Post the sample file and I'll try to work it out for you.
