This will also extend the roof, if they aren't actually intersecting. Just be sure to ctrl click the edge that is not perpendicular to the cutting roof, but the edge that is closer to being parallel to it.<BR /> <BR /> Cheers,<BR /> Link.

A pet palette will appear - select the 5th button along from the left - it has a minus sign in it. This will minus a portion of your roof out. To specifiy the area you want to minus out, trace one of the dormers, by space bar clicking it. Repeat for the other dormer - Whooshka!<BR /> <BR /> The whole procedure can be done in 20 seconds - including the previous step! <IMG src="https://community.graphisoft.com/legacyfs/online/emojis/icon_cool.gif" style="display : inline;" /> <BR /> <BR /> Cheers,<BR /> Link.
