Roof angle

[Blue]

More a wish / feedback probably. Or have I missed this somewhere? Then please let me know.

I wish it was possible to have different angles on a pitched roof.

I find it way to much complicated to test out different roof angles.

Hi!

Have you tried with multi-plane-geometry? It seems to me that it would help, at least with the second part of your question, with multiple angles.

[Blue]

Hi, thank you for your answer. I've tried the multi-plane-geometry and adding a negative angle, (minus before the number)  but that did not work out.

I guess my second question was not very well communicated. I want the red/orange solution.

Oh, then I think you are referring to Roof Edge Angle. You can have it perpendicular, vertical or custom.

The toggles should also be available when selecting the roof.

Unfortunately, I don't think you can have asymmetrical angles on the same roof, you will have to make two of them with a common ridge.

[Blue]

I thought so, but thanks for your response. Maybe one day in the future this will be possible 🙂

That is an easy task. Select a first roof and control+click on the edge of the second roof you want to merge. Than repeat the procedure for the second plane.

[Blue]

Aha - thanks a lot, that worked fine 🙂

(I still think, though, it should be possible to do this using the pitched roof and just type in angles)

You can just type in a new pitch and it will alter from the pivot point (blue line) - for single plane roofs.

The plan outline will remain the same, so if both are the same pitch, there should be no need to re-trim roof edges together.

But if different pitches you will have to re-trim as the ridge position will move.

You can also stretch in section.

Single roof planes ...

And multi-plane roofs are a little different...

You can't type individual angle for each plane of a multi-plane roof, but you can move the ridge with the pet palette.

Yes, of course - custom plane settings.

I was looking in the overall roof settings where you only see the default roof pitch.

In my defence, when ever I have any type of non-symmetrical roof or roof planes at different heights, I always go to single roof planes.
