Gull Wing Roofs

A gull wing roof has two pitches on either side of the ridge, as a gambrel does; but the first pitch of a gull wing is shallower than the second.

To convert the gambrel roof to a gull wing
  1. Click on the floor plan view window to make it the active view.
  2. Click the Roof Tools parent button, then Delete Roof Planes .
  3. Change the following settings for each of the horizontal walls on the Roof tab of the Wall Specification dialog:
    • Set the Lower Pitch at 3 in 12 and the Upper Pitch 12 in 12.
    • Set Start Height to 114 inches.
  4. The two vertical walls remain Full Gable Walls.
  5. Click the Build Roof tool, check Build Roof Planes, and click OK in the Build Roof dialog.
