So I just learned about Softplan and have been using it for a couple of hours total now. I'm trying to draw a garage addition on our existing home. This is bit unique in that the main floor is about 49" above the driveway, or where the top of the new slab would be. This will hopefully allow me to fit a loft area above the new garage. To that end, on the rear of the new garage I want to add a shed/hip dormer. On the front side of the garage I want to add a gable. I believe this will provide enough head room to make this a very usable space.
So, I am having issues drawing the roof correctly. After trying lots of things I eventually got the rear dormer to look correct in 3D view and was able to get the dormer's walls to do the right thing.
So my questions are (see annotated photos):
- How do I remove the extra portion of roof below the dormer's roof? And the trim?
- How do I add the gable on the front above the garage doors?
- How do I fix the soffit coming through to the interior?
- Why don't my trusses show in 3d view?
Appreciate the help!
