Differense in behaviour of roof

When I create a flat roof, and alter the angle in 3D, the change is reflected in the Roof Height and Pitch window.

 

But when I alter the gableheight of a gabled roof, using elevate ridges, it doesn't reflect the changes.  

 

Bug or intended?

By 'flat' roof I assume you mean a single plane roof.

They only have one surface and therefore only one pitch.

 

Multi-plane roofs can have any number of surfaces and only show the original pitch as it was created.

In the settings (not info box) you will a warning to say there are multiple pitches.

If you click on a pivot line of a multi=plane roof and go to the 'Custom planes' option in the pet palette, you will see the custom pitch.

That makes sence. It never crossed my mind that I could do other things whith the gable than just elevate it!
