Flat Roof

[DoHop]

I did make my purchase of Turbo conditional with the salesperson that it could create a flat roof.  They assured me no problem.

Three days of manipulation get me close but no banana.  You would think a "shed" roof wouldn't be anything but simple construction, but even it has gabling, or whatever you call several dimensions of roof topography and consequent framing.

I need flat, 2 degree angle roof, with flat, single 2x8  x 12' beams...just like a shed. I need to be able to place these on an approx 24' x 60' dwelling, using internal "cross beams" to make the 12' lumber spans work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

By the way, it is a one story building.  I tried faking it out using the ceiling menu, but that didn't work either.

Hi and welcome to the forum,

If you have a look at this post it should give you the direction you need. http://forums.turbofloorplan.com/index.php/topic,1258.0.html.
Basically it is a matter of setting one side to 2 degree and the rest to vertical (gable), but the previous post should help.

The Ceiling or Floor would work also if you draw them "By Picking Points" not by Room or Perimeter.  You can elevate them to any height to fake a totally flat roof. The method mentioned in the previous post must have at least 1 degree slope on one side.
