What is the best, most efficient way to add a wall object that follows the gable end profile of a roof object, (meaning that its top and bottom are both angled)?

I suspect your answer will have to do with SEOs, but it's really hard to get a clear understanding of what you're describing -- can you post a sketch or screen shot?

If AC simply allowed for sloped walls with consistant height, it's be simple......

Since I'm planning on using the cadimage accessories to add clapboards to the walls, I therefore need a wall object in front of the roof (where the sheathing will be in reality) so that I can attach the clapboard wall object up to the bottom of the barge board.Chris wrote:you're talking about a barge-board right? if you are using the cadimage accessories why not use 'roof builder' to add the roof edge and flashing details too?
