In the video below I demonstrate how to draw a gambrel roof with SketchUp, and it’s actually quite simple. In a nutshell a gambrel roof is simply half an octagon with four even sides. In the video I mostly use the move tool and rotate tool but also include a few tips & tricks that should make using SketchUp easier.
you have a wonderful blog right here! would you like to have invite blogposts on my blog?
Does the roof require a ridge beam?
No, it uses trusses.
