Roof that falls two ways

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi

Is there a way to use the roof tool and have it fall two ways? So the top four corners of the roof is at a different RL, with one high point and one low point.

If you are referring to a single roof plane then yes.
Model it in the 3D window.
The first 3 points you pick are 3 heights that will determine the slope of the plane.
Then you define the perimeter.
Of course it is all editable once placed.

In the reference manual have a look for "Create a single roof plane in the 3D window".
