Is there anyone in Oklahoma City that is good at drawing roof plans? I need a little help, Chris

It doesn't have to be someone in OKC, when I use trace roof I am having trouble adding all of the hips and gables, the program is putting in odd shapes, not triangles? can anyone help over the phone?

It is a matter of working with the lollipops. On more cut up roofs SP tries to be smart, but sometimes makes a mess. Sometimes moving the lollipops around and editing a few times helps. Upload a few snapshots and some of us might be able to help. If you want to send me the project you can at mark@pbd-us.com. I can take a look. Let me know what you are trying to accomplish and then we can talk through it more if you want.

Thanks for the advice Mark, I just kept moving the lollipops until it finally did what I wanted it to.

Glad it worked out. It can be painful when SP thinks it knows better.

Also, be sure to keep checking the 3D model.  You can't tell what I looks like just looking at the roof plan.  I've had a few that looked great in plan and were horrible in the model.
