I am new to ArchiCAD...convert from AutoCAD. Is there an easy way to create the following type of roof?
I have a 'square' building and wanting to place a roof which has an overhang to all four sides (equal in length). The roof is monopitch. Here's the thing. The soffit thickness needs to decrease in size from 190mm at outside wall to 90mm at the fascia.
Does anyone have any suggestions as I've tried a few things and all seem to be really crappy and not very logical.

Attached is a 30 second basic dwg (elevation) of what I want to create. The roof lines represent the outline including linings for the roof with the soffits tapering off to the fascia boards.

Hi Richard,
I was able to do that as well, however, the problem I was having, was maintaining that tapered soffit to all four sides of the building.
