One end of roof higher than the other end

[Anonymous]

Hi!
I wonder how I can make one point of the roof ridge higher than the other end. Is this possible for normal gabled roof? Everything I try has failed, so I am hoping you have a good answer ))

Yes, Archicad can do this. What you need to establish is the angle of the roof base line in relation to the ridge. For one end of the ridge to be higher than the other the base line has to be further away at the higher end. You can't have one gable of the roof at 30 degree and the other at 45 degrees as this would be trying to twist what needs to be a flat plane. If you have 3 points e.g. both ends of the ridge and a point at the eaves visible in 3D, you can set up the required roof plane in the 3D window and Archicad will create the required base line for the points.
