- www.acbestpractices.com/roof-d... - This ArchiCAD training lesson is excerpted from the Best Practices Course, and is included in my RoofDesign Course, one of my new "specialty" courses on specific topics. In this lesson, I go over how to create a wide variety of roof styles using multi-plane roof methods. These were introduced in ArchiCAD 15, however they apply to ALL later versions of the software.
In this video I compare multi-plane roofs with single-plane roofs, which continue to be available and are recommended for some specific use cases.

I'm a last-year-stressed-architecture-student who have final review soon, and this tutorial just saved my life. thankyou, God bless! :)
Thanks Eric for taking time to create such professional tutorials. The knowledge provided in your tutorials is almost impossible to find elsewhere on net so far.
Joined an office which use archicad for designing 3months ago. i was a complete newbie and after following your tutorials i can manipulate archicad well. My boss is very please with the speed i am learning. Just want to thank you ERIC for helping us in our daily task.
Eric, if I could climb through the computer screen and give you a hug in thanks for this fantastic tutorial I would. As a student that prefers hand-drawing to anything digital and would rather not be modelling anything in this way I appreciate your thorough and slow explanations of the programme. They are very well done.
Eric, you just make all this look so easy, very nicely done mate :)
Eric, you are my hero!
yet another very helpful tutorial. thanks for your time and effort in making these easy to follow tutorials, I would still be stuck trying to build a wall without them.
cheers mate
You have made ArchiCAD easier to learn compared to Revit. I wish I had seen your videos as early as version 4.55. All along I never met any ArchiCAD teacher with such undocumented innovative ideas like you. Thank you
Good staff! Thank you! Saved the day :)
thank u so much Mr Eric for ur advice in this lesson of ARCHICAD
Great tutorial, great tips!
you are a life saver eric 😊😊😊😊
thenkz alot
Very informative and well presented. Keep up the good work.
Eric thank you for the great video.
Is there a way to create a polygon quickly (like an hexagon ....) with the wall tool or line tool?
This is amaizing video tutorial! Thanks
been recieving your mails neva thot to check on you tube. WOW, i need this, thanks Eric
hallo Eric i dont know what do you 28'50'' do..can you tell me
Muy Practico y Muy fácil de entender... Gracias Eric...!
YOU'RE A GENIUS BRO, THANK YOU ALWAYS FOR THIS VIDEO
Hi Eric, thank you for the tutorial, is it possible to do the same one with Archicad 20 or 21? If it's possible explaining how to use the roofmaker. Thank you!
God bless you bro for sharing,,,I most appreciate
Great Video to include almost all roof types in one file and tutorial. A suggestion for a future more detailed roof video would be: Show how to add molding and trim profiles to the facia. Also 'greek return' on the gable end are very common but hard to do. I wonder how the proficient Mr. Bobrow would approach them. Don't forget other details such as ridge vents, soffits and cornice.
Hello Eric,
Thank you for another great tutorial. I do have one query though, when you were doing the dutch gable you said to make the pitch of the roof, where the gable is to be placed, at 45 degrees which is steeper than the roofs without the gable. I don't know what it is like in the USA but when a dutch gable is built in Australia all roof panels have the same pitch. Could the roof with the gable be adjusted to the original pitch after the gable has been created.
cheers.
Thank you so much, Eric. You have helped me a lot so far.
You are very welcome Raghad!
Another home run Eric.!
am impressed great work
thanks is very helpful
watched few times :) nice, must make one of that in polish :)
Eric Bobrow should get the paychecks of all the Archicad teachers in my school.
damn, you did every roof I didn't need, which was a round roof;)
great tutorial. dont know why when i "split into single plane roofs", it still selects the whole roof instead of a single plane. using archicad 22.
+Eric Bobrow, how are you switching back and forth to 3d so quickly? Thanks in advance!
regarding to the wall connected to roof it is possible that automatic extent to roof?
Thanks, a lot
Eric I did most design just like you see I did all Temple design Tradition custom design thank for help but don't 15 or 16 What's I do ?
yes i would like to learning more detail
thanks
Thank you,, 😗😗😗
How do you draw a curved gable or a bow roof like seen on Cape Cod. Shaped like a boat bow.
did you know how to activate the thick ?
hello erric I am having problem to create a roofing structure, after combining two pitched roof, when I try to use roof wizard it create the structures it to separated roof while I have connect them
Thank youuu
Thanks..მადლობა გაიხარეეეე,როგორ პროფესიონალურად ახსენი და მე გამომივიდა,გამეხარდააააა, მე ქართველი ვარ!!!!
Nana - Thanks for your positive feedback on this video. I had to run it through Google Translate to understand what you wrote - glad to know the video has been helpful!
Hi Mr Eric Bobrow i'm an architecture student . please i need the savefile of this tutorial and thank you so much
+Eric Bobrow thank you so much
thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
You are very welcome!
hi there :) help please. I have problem with roof. the same composite material, but because of 2 different angles, one for left side and one for right side of the roof, in the middle part where the connected, i have different tickness of roof composites....because of angle of side of the roof. i need same dimensions .... i can not find the solution :(

hi there,
I have a question , in min 29:21 u folow a prozess , what aru u doing exactly , a dont understand ,u use short cut but I dont know what, can u pleas help me.
tnx
+Eric Bobrow First Thanx a lot, u r great, I've learned a lot from you.
where can I used this commend (this prozess) too?
tnx
want to master my design in archiCAD.
Hello Eric. I hope you have fully recovered. I have a question about a rectangular hip roof with 2 different angles. If I change the hip angle, the offset is getting smaller. In your video it's the same. How to fix this problem?
Great tutorial, but what are you clicking to merge the two roof edges at 29:42?
@Vivex - In each case, I am selecting one of the roofs (it acts as the "controlling one" that defines a sloped plane) and holding down the Command (Mac) or CTRL (PC) key while clicking on the EDGE of the other roof, causing that EDGE to reposition to meet the "controlling" roof. This is not technically "merging" the roof edges; it is repositioning the edge (that you click on with Command or CTRL) to the location where it will cleanly intersect or meet the other one. I hope that is clear...
@@EricBobrow Thank you, I figured it out eventually. Very useful way of creating roof plans of existing houses, in practice almost every roof had slightly different plane angles
@@EricBobrow Hello, Thank you for your so helpful tutorial! I must be doing something wrong while clicking the two roof planes, because the command does not work for me. I click the first plane, then press CTRL and click the second plane. Right? Afterwards i get the "Error-sound". Also, it would be awesome if afterwards the two planes can become one object. Would be very grateful if you could help in this matter! :) Thank you!
@@teodorapascu3777 You need to SELECT the first roof element (not just click it) so it has handles visible. THEN you can Command-click (MAC) or CTRL-click (PC) on the appropriate EDGE of the second roof plane; this will cause Archicad to reposition that edge so it will cleanly meet the plane of the original (selected) roof element.
Unfortunately there is nothing that is available to merge them into one object. You can create a multi-plane roof, then later break it into multiple single plane roof elements, but there is no inverse option of combining two or more single plane roofs into a multi-plane roof.
@@EricBobrow thank you!! It finally worked, though, my question is, if i have now two roof planes, not symmetrical, which lead two the form of a roof, but they are not connected, is it possible to create out of it a with roofmaker/ roof wizzard the truss? Or is there other method to create a not symmetrical roof with diff plate heights?:) would be awesome to hear your opinion! Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the eye opener, more grease to your elbow
I would like to become architecture. Should by enough learning some software or should I go university or college?
Anna - software is a tool that helps you accomplish what you want or need to do. However designing buildings like an architect requires understanding many things beyond how to model or draw building elements.
You can become an architect or building designer by apprenticing or working for an architect; this is the classic way to "learn by doing" and having technical skills (such as knowing how to use Archicad) may help you get a job, or at least be useful enough to someone that they will hire or allow you to intern with them. Enrolling in an architecture program is a long-term commitment to the profession, and to yourself.
I appreciate that you asked me about this, I encourage you to talk with some architects to learn more about what they do, and see if this is the right career path for you.
@@EricBobrow thank you very. Useful information. Appreciate

the roof is the hardest part :
Yes, roofs are complex - in real life and in Archicad...although once you get the hang of it, the process goes pretty quickly. Is there a particular type of roof you find most challenging?
A lot of roofs without roof construction.....after watching this video you will not be able to construct a wooden construction roof.
@Mr. Architect - This video teaches methods to create a schematic level roof model for different styles and types of roofs. Once one has the basic model, one can go in and add more detail. One approach is to duplicate the roof elements, dragging one copy on top of the other, then making the lower elements only reach the edge of the building while extending the upper ones out past the edge. The lower roof(s) represent the framing space, the upper one(s) the cladding (they are adjusted to be much thinner). Then framing elements are introduced, either as stick framing or trusses. The process can continue, adding in detailed coverings such as tiles and profiled beam elements covering the edges, as well as rain gutters etc. This video is just the beginning...
