Drawing A Floor Or A Roof On A Different Plane
Paring these roof types with the appropriate architectural style is recommended for a home to obtain design harmony and curb appeal.
Drawing a floor or a roof on a different plane. A ridgeline marks the apex of each of the three roof sections on this roof plan. In the two examples shown below the wall plans are identical apart from the parapet wall in roof b yet the two roof shapes are quite different as indicated by the roof lines on the plan drawings. Also different architectural styles will use the same type of roof. As with designing a floor plan layout the roof must also be considered when establishing the footprint of the house.
For each offset angle or change in plate. Keep it simple stupid.
