Thanks very much for the tip - will check it out and see what I can come up with. I found a gable roof example and was able to get it working with the shed I'm using as an example to see how the program works. Hip roofs are a bit more complicated than my limited carpentry skills ...

Hi,

Just discovered the Sweet Home 3D program and this forum - any suggestions for doing hip roofs or maybe an existing model that can be downloaded?

Also, any way to do material estimates for a given design?

Thanks very much...
