Roof Surfacer AC 7

Anonymous
Not applicable
When I anoint the roof on both sides of a ridge with the standing seam--AC 7 Library_Add on Library_Roof accessory_roof_surfacer, I'm unable to convince the patterns to line up, i.e. "mirror". Is there a fix-it that anyone has discovered?

Thanks,

Wally

I'm using the standing seam roof surfacer, on opposite sides of the gable. Can't match the standing seams. I tried to find the 3d pivot line as mentioned earlier in the posting, but actually I have no idea where it is, or how I can select it.
Tried selecting the roof surface, am able to do that, can get the pet palette, dragged, strectched, added nodes, no success.

Any help?

You can adjust the START of the seams by adjusting the ROOFs PIVOT LINE.... (not the surfacer).... This should be done on the ROOF PLAN...

A very famous DV tip ... that should have gotten tip of the month a long time ago! 😉 This was not obvious to many of us (most of us?) ...
