trouble with eves

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 13:05:56 GMT

Hello everyone Glenn from Australia here.

I created a roof using the polyroof tool and choose 300mm for eve overhang. The roof was created fine but there are parts of the roof I need no eves, and for the life of me I cant work out ho to remove the eve from that part of the roof.
Please help
cheers

Mercedes on the roof edge and use the edge offset button in the pet palette. All polygonal entities edit the same way ...

You are either clicking a corner or the roof slope orientation line [that often coincides with the bottom edge of the roof.]

Does not matter which part of the roof I click I only get drag,rotate, mirror, elevate and multiply. No other options seem to appear.

Thanks I can see what you are saying. But for some reason im not getting all the buttons in the pet palette. only the bottom ones in the picture of the previous post. Cant work out why?

you are probably selecting the wall or something
Hover the mouse over the edge & use tab to alternate the selection of the plane

No matter what I do it seems to select the whole roof not just the section like in your picture. tried tab didnt work either as soon as I would click the whole roof was selected again.
thanks again getting closer.
any more ideas?

thanks for your patients but I still cant get the extra options to appear when I make a roof using the polyroof tool.

Out of ideas other than trying to select it in the 3D window with a top projection & trying the same thing but this can be awkward
You should get a similar pet pallet for slabs etc after selecting & right clicking on an edge with the mercedes cursor also

"Ungroup" or "Suspend Groups".
This way you can select individual roof planes, instead of the whole roof.

Is the roof that you are trying to edit grouped with other elements? If so, try to suspend groups or un-group. Is the roof layer locked? If so, try unlocking. I know this sounds basic, but I've suffered this myself.
