I am reposting this question as it own topic.
We are encountering a problem with the Roof Accessories tool.
1) When we model a shingle or shake roof we want the shakes or shingles to overhang the roof and facia. The Roof Accessories tool models the roof shingles just up to the edge of the roof that was selected. There is an option to set the roof length that looks hopeful but we are not able to change the value. There doesn't seem to be any other way to change the overhang of the roofing created with the Roof Accessories tool beyond the edge of the roof.
Our workaround has been to model another duplicate roof with eaves that are 2" than the actual roof. Then we select the duplicate roof and apply the Roof Accessories tool. This gives us overhanging roofing material. We model a facia board and then put the duplicate roof on a layer that we shut off.
This is a lot of extra work. Is there a better/easier way to get the Roof Accessories tool to overhang the roof at the eave?
2) There are several roofing materials included in the Roof Accessories tool but there does not seem to be a tapered shingle or shake. This tool would be of a lot more use to us if it included a tapered shingle or shake.
Thank you,
John
