Ridge caps for Standing Seam Roof

Anonymous
Not applicable
I am looking for a ridge cap object in ArchiCAD for standing seam metal roofs. Also the valley and hip caps. Is there an object available for this or do I have to create one? If so how do I go about doing it?

You can split the existing roof planes at the width of the caps, remove the standing seam object from the caps, and increase the roof thickness at these areas. Will look OK in any view. For the sections, a custom fill might come in handy.
