Establish the first roof line and the incline vanishing point this can be the trickiest part.
How to draw a roof on a house.
As you can see the 2 lines to the top left of the image are just drawn in approximately.
Find the middle of both the front and back side where the top of the roof will be by drawing diagonals from corner to corner to create an x on both the front and back sides.
Click and drag from one corner of the wall top to the other.
Step 5 draw a vertical line between those 2 line as well.
Odd roof types dormers.
Step 3 draw a line from the top and the bottom of the line over the left vanishing point.
Use the following steps to draw a roof.
The importance of designing a roof plan for a house.
Vertical lines through the middle.

Carry this line beyond that point up into the sky of your composition.
It must be considered when developing the floor plan and determining the style of architecture of a home.
Position disc on wall top before drawing.
Measure a roof pitch or a roofing slope that will identify the angles of the roof in relation to both vertical and horizontal rises from the structure.
Create a structure to put the roof on.

We will determine there length in the next step.
Having those ideas in place will lead to a well crafted roof that should be easy to frame.
Draw vertical lines through the middle where the lines cross.
Cursor changes to a transparent disc to gauge drawing height.
The internal roof lines are called valleys and the external roof lines are the hips as shown.
We will use this to create the triagular part of the roof.
Step 4 now draw a vertical line between those 2 lines that you drew to the left vanishing point.
A roof design can make or break the appearance of a home.
