Title: Inserting a Dormer Roof in FloorPlan 3D v11
Post by: Brendan1971 on March 17, 2009, 01:44:13 PM
Hello.
I realise that this may not be the correct forum, but I am hoping that somebody may be able to help me.

I have recently purchased Floorplan 3D v11. Everything appears to be going well with the exception that I cannot get the Dormer Roof to insert.

All of the other roof types will insert okay, but the Dormer will not.

The steps I am taking are:

Select Insert Roof

            Select roof type: Dormer

                        Insert

Result: An image of a roof appears attached to a crosshairs (similar to that which you might see when inserting an object). But the roof will not

Hi,

The old FloorPlan User Forums (http://forums.imsisoft.com/forums/Main.cfm?CFApp=232) are still in opertion, so why not ask the question there, (and I will answer it).

Hint: the Dormer is just an object and doesn't connect to walls, it has to snap into a section of a Roof you have already inserted.

Also searching the old Forum for 'attic room' will give you the information you need.

Thank you for the fast response Steve.

I will register with the Floorplan site and ask my question there. Thank you for the tip on attics as well.

All the best,
Brendan
