multi-plan roof gable edge adjustment

hey everyone, i have a multi-plane roof and at the gable ends you can adjust the roof gable overhang, but what i need to do is adjust the lower roof portion edge instead. hard to explain. hopefully the pic will explain. it seems that this edge is always associated with the pivot line, but because the lower roof portion is a hip roof, i can't move the pivot line without affecting the overhang and hip locations. so is there a way to move the "ridge" portion of the lower roof in the direction of the arrow? see pic

Try stretching the pivot line of the roof hotspot without dragging it to access the vertex to modify.

I hope this help!

Sorry Lpalma, but I don’t think I understand.

I’m not exactly sure what you’re trying to do, but I think you drew the lower roof as a single roof. Select it and split it into separate roof planes (right-click menu); that will make it easier to manipulate.
