Basic & Easy How to draw a roof plan in AutoCAD Tutorial - Hip Roof Plan - Detailed tutorial on best techniques to draw your own roof plans. Tricky at first but you will get better with practice.

That was so satisfying to watch when the mess of lines got resolved into a proper roof plan. Pretty. I felt a mental frown gradually unknotting itself. Thanks. Gonna try an sketch some odd welded rectangles and try this.

[@JeffCook-c8v]

The solution for where the roof ran into itself, "creating a water proofing problem", is to build a cricket (American term). This reverses the water flow to the correct downflow slope. The same idea as behind a mid-roof chimney, you divert the flow away from the obstacle.

Wonderful and impactful Sir, can you make sectioning video involving a roof plan

[@fayazkhan2714]

Dear respected sir very helpful to understanding this part 2 of the previous Roof plan. we keep contact with you for more professional videos. Thanks dear sir

[@AwesomeAndrew]

Thank you for your comment. Yes please keep following me to get updated with new tutorials. Thanks

I would rather a video showing how to draw rafters for a complex roof like this one

[@ПрезидентРосиянен]

Здравствуйте, есть ли у вас обучкющие уроки по проектированию домов,зданий,торговых центров, вентиляций?

[@jenkies2022]

Thank you. That was helpful. How about if one wing of the structure is rotated at a 30 or 45 from the main structure? And how do you decide how to break it into rectangles, such as, how did you decide to overlap the rectangles in the last video?

[@AwesomeAndrew]

Hi Crystal, glad this video was helpful. Thats a great question you asked there and worthy of a video in itself. The rectangle method i use is based off of where I would place primary structural trusses (girder trusses). i look at the roof structurally and first identify where all these main trusses would be located, which is how the rectangles are located essentially. This allows the roof to be broken into separate compartments that are then integrated together. In terms of angles walls, they can and do become trickier and something that would be better shown in a video than explained in a text. Have a great day.

Thanks you make it so simple

[@petersam4182]

This was interesting, now I have lines chasing me in my sleep. I love a challenge so I will try this, but the lines man, the lines. There must be an easier way.

[@danmuchwanju1757]

Hi how a bout tutorials on how to draw the individual trusses in a hip roof?

[@AwesomeAndrew]

great idea, i will do that

[@springcapital7891]

Great video, but the middle part is not corrected.

[@ericperry4934]

If I give you my floor plan, can you draw me a roof plan , trust diagram, and detail material list?

[@avastephanie6654]

Indeed Awesome

[@AwesomeAndrew]

haha glad you liked it

[@hellokiti4441]

Thankyou !

[@royknapp9580]

Er, I think your arrows are reversed. But try copying them around, and giving them the obvious rotation angles.

[@AwesomeAndrew]

it may depend on perhaps your location to which direction people use them. I have worked in architecture for 20 years and this is the standard rotation used where the arrow points in the downward slope direction. I have seen it done the other way too, but that has very very rare, perhaps twice over 20years

[@secretsoftheages6136]

cheers mate!!

[@adnanomerhodzic3869]

The roof shape in the middle is incorrect. I have solved it and could email you the solution

[@AwesomeAndrew]

Yes please send through what you have done. Always open to bring corrected but can't see an error in this roof.

[@adnanomerhodzic3869]

@@AwesomeAndrew I've sent it on your Facebook page, everything is correct except the middle part that you already pointed out. The water will accumulate and eventually leak if that was a real roof.

[@AwesomeAndrew]

@@adnanomerhodzic3869 I can't find the image posted anywhere, my email is [e-mail] I understand about the flat part of the roof you are talking about, roofs actually do get built this way, I know its not an ideal roof solution in regards to water, usually this area is heavily flashed, perhaps even slightly graded with loose timbers (if trussesd) to aide in water run off. Great you noticed this poor roof design issue. In my own designs if I saw this I would move external walls, use gables or something else to avoid.

[@adnanomerhodzic3869]

@@AwesomeAndrew i sent the picture. yes there are workarounds, and otherwise this is a great video.

[@yousomene01]

not so easy after all...

[@AwesomeAndrew]

I agree that generally roof plans can be complex sometimes, but hopefully using the method I use, and with some practice, you will find it easier with time

[@NathanEllery]

Wow, that was bad. And why oh why would you intentionally put a box gutter in the middle of your house? At least it's appearance gave a reason why you would struggle so much to do such a simple process. Admittingly I always found it simple to solve roofs and most don't, even some roofies.

[@78cugrad]

Ha! BIG help if you have the software. Kinda like diapering a baby…….[Here, Here, Here - and you gotta it! USELESS!

[@AwesomeAndrew]

Are you ok? that made absolutely no sense. Thanks for the comment.
