Title: How do I connect those 2 roofs?

See attached.  I'd like to have the two roofs joined together.  Thanks for your help.

Hi,

As is often the case there are a number of ways to do it.  Since the roof is all at one level you could just draw it By Picking Points and it will be one roof. However you will have to set the wall heights of the second location as they will probably poke through the roof.

For the second option I have adjusted your model to extend it. Go to roof properties and click Solution Type - "Ignore Next Storey".  It is the other roof that is cutting it off.  You can then extend the roof overhang to cover the gap (I have made it 3'6") and cut the corners off with the right click "Cut Opening" or they will stick inside the house.  Again you may have to cut the height or slope some wall tops.

Hope you can follow that - ask again if not clear.
