Re: I am having trouble doing roofing
I could do it BUT I'll have to make some modifications. Anyway I will make a different file with some needed levels and the roofs. So, I'll help you but not really over night. I'll do my best(or very close). 1. You miss the ground floor. Without it you don't have room for veranda. 2. In your plan you don't specify where you want the veranda to be. In the pictures it appear at two sides at around 1.5 to 2.0 meters. I will suggest you some modifications.

Re: I am having trouble doing roofing
It's not exactly what you expected but could be a start. Here is the file. Compare my results with the inspiration pictures you've provided. Personally I'm not satisfied BUT it is your project and I have to let you to have the satisfaction of your work.
Good luck!

Re: I am having trouble doing roofing
Dorin, I am really grateful to you. Thank you for your effort. It is really good, but how did you do this? I worked hard for this and please help me learn for the other roofs I have made, Dorin :)

Re: I am having trouble doing roofing

Probably, but I'm not satisfied.
how did you do this?
Believe me or not: HARD! I've used a personal version of GR but, even so, wasn't easy for me. It is very unstable and give unexpected results. It took me a couple of hours.
please help me learn for the other roofs
Roofs and stairs have their own difficult principles and difficulties. Before this you have to learn and exercise more with the base of this program which is fool of default capabilities. I still discover it. From start few suggestions: 1. Learn and use levels. 2. Decide your rules for grouping furniture. 3. Exercise with align and distribute furniture functions. 4. Remember: For a good house you need a precise 2D and 3D plan. Specifically at roofs: If you read this post and the accordingly tutorials you could do with your current version of plugin. If you like to live on the edge, you can use the green About button in the plugin. Depending how much you really wish, you personally could receive the GR v.5.0 before others.(With the current risks)

Re: I am having trouble doing roofing
Yes, it is difficult. I tried for a week and couldn't do it. So thank you very much. I will try to do it myself by reading the article. If I can't do it, can I ask for help from you again, Dorin :).

Your specific needs for your roof are dormers. Read this post but I recommend to read the pdf tutorial.
If I can't do it
You can!

Re: I am having trouble doing roofing
Dorin, Hello, I want to ask you two questions again. When I create a group of boxes and want to change the size of that group collectively, the size of all of them is different. How can I solve this? My second question is that I added a lot of add-ons to the sweet home 3D program and I don't want to lose them. How can I protect sweet home 3D in this state, how can I back it up? Thank you.

Re: I am having trouble doing roofing
Plugins are are stored in the home directory in a subdirectory named '.eteks' (that is on Linux, on other systems probably something similar and it's a hidden directory so check that these are visible). Under that directory there is a subdirectory sweethome3d/plugins. Just backup the files in that directory. Actually, only the plugin manager plugin is necessary since with that plugin it is easy to install the other plugins.
With the boxes: if grouped they should all resize with the same percentage, not with a fixed number. Make sure you select the group and not the individual boxes. If that doesn't work you can use the resize function. I think it's a feature of the advanced edit plugin. And if THAT still doesn't work you can select all boxes and export/import them. Then the group is a single object that should resize as one.
