Roof w/ special fascia condition

[Anonymous]

Is there anyway I can get a reveal type in the entire perimeter fascia edge of my gable roof. Not just the angled gable end but the entire perimeter of the roof. I want a 2" high piece then back 1" & then a 8" high piece. I'm trying to make it out of 2 roofs 1 on top of the other (2" high on top of the 8" high) but there is a small gap on the gable ends that will look stupid in renderings. Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance,
Michele

From the side (not the gable end) the fascia is correct. From the bottom to top there is an 8" fascia and then a 2" fascia. From the gable end there is a gap and the gable end fascia is not 8" & 2". It's something slightly larger. Try a roof and you'll see what the roof tool does. It'll have to do for now because it's walking out the door but it shouldn't be that difficult!

Thanks,
Michele

the Profiles would be separate from the roof. You would just be modeling them next to the roof.

Not much better than whatwe've been able to do with roofs then. Why didn't graphisoft let us use these profiles with roofs?

Because linear elements are one thing and polygonal one are quite another.

Of course you can make a profiled beam (even a sloping one) and use SEOs to add it to the roof edge.

I agree with Michele. It should be easier than it is to show fascias/overhangs the way they really are.

I agree that there is much room for improvement in roof/slab edge treatments, including applied profiles, variable materials, and section conditions. This is just a more complex requirement with less immediate benefit than the wall/column/beam profiles and thus must wait for future developments.

In the meantime it really is not that difficult to do proper eaves and rakes. My clients have been doing it for years and the new beam profiles make it that much easier.
