Working with Roofs
The tools located in the Object Properties tab of the Inspector let you change the style of a roof. To change the materials applied to a roof, use the Palette.
1 – The type of the soffit. You can choose either basic, simple, horizontal, or box end soffit.
2 – The elevation of the roof in relation to the floor level. By raising the roof, you can create a gap between it and the floor.
3 – The maximum size of the fascia.
4 – Select another side of the roof.
5 – A list of segments of the selected roof side and their parameters.
6 – Add a roof segment above the selected one.
7 – Delete the selected roof segment.
8 – Add a roof segment below the selected one.
9 – The roof segment type. Slope creates a tilted segment. Gable makes the segment vertical. Hole makes the selected segment transparent.
10 – The angle of the selected roof segment. You can adjust the angle of Slope segments only.
11 – The height of the selected roof segment. Note that you cannot modify the height of the uppermost or a sole segment.
12 – The thickness of the selected roof segment.
13 – The overhang distance of the selected roof segment.
14 – Elevation of the dormer in relation to the roof. When you change this parameter, the dormer doesn't move vertically, but slides up or down on the roof's surface.
15 – The maximum size of the fascia.
16 – Dormer width.
17 – Angles of the left and right sides of the dormer. Changing these angles, you change the dormer top view from rectangle to trapezium or parallelogram.
