Roof intersection

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hey,

I'm trying to connect 2 roof elements together, that roof hatch would be properly shown on this section view (see attached image below). Left roof is one element (0°), the right one is part of complex roof. I tried with SEO, but the result is not what I want. Any clue?

Thanks in advance ,
Rok

Draw both roofs through each other and then use 'Trim Elements to Roof/Shell' to trim both roofs to each other.
First select the roof you want to trim, then select 'Trim Elements to Roof/Shell', then click on the plane of the other roof and then click on the part of the roof which you want to keep.
