Coach,
i purchased your roof playbook and it is very clear (thanks!!)
my deepest difficulty is on the original set up of the geometry of the roof. what configuration should the roof be set up - where is the ridge, shape of high roof vs low roof.
any advice on this please?
because if the initial configuration is set not smartly, then everything else sort of swirls down from there.
thanks so much!

As I say in the video, keep it simple. Wherever possible, use simple, symmetrical gables.
By symmetrical, I mean keep the ridge of each volume at the middle of the extents of the volume.
Stay away from hips. Only use sheds if absolutely necessary -- like if high portion wraps low roof.
