how to draw a roof in plans to satisfy building department
Wondering if anyone has any tips of samples to show how to draw a roof addition in construction drawings. I have a set of plans with the city for a small garage addition that would add a front gable to our old home. Their only feedback is that it isn’t clear and that I need an engineer.
I was hoping to use the California valley like I’ve seen on here from Larry Haun, for simplicity sake, but this may not meet code? I have asked them if they want me to change it to valley rafters, but they seem to not want anything to do with this simple gable addition.

These are your codes folks. you have to satisfy them.
Either they are not comfortable giving you advice, or do not think you know what you are doing.
You can try to submit more detailed plans, and see if it flies, or find an engineer to draw up and sign a plan.
