Roof edge not vertical

mukster — Tue, 23 May 2023 12:34:27 GMT

I'm having problems with my standard flat plane roof edge. Not the eave, but the gable end. I have the roof edge set to vertical, but the gable edge is coming up angled and I have no idea how to fix it. This has happened a few times on different plans.

After some roof editing operations like a cut to roof operation, (where you use the Ctrl + C to force one roof plane to merge to another roof plane) the edges can go astray. Reselect the roofs and apply the "Set Vertical Angle" cut end again. It should take.

Thanks Mark - I did a little web research, and what works for me is selecting the edge of the roof that's out of line, then selecting the Custom Edge Settings in the pet palette that pops up. There I can reset the angle of the edge.

I have this problem, if i change the pitch of roofs, the angles get wierd. I go to the edge angle of the pet pallette, click "apply to all edges, and make them vertical again... Is there a way to just lock all edges to vertical?

No, as explained before:
