    Default Roof - Extrusion Along path - Conceptual Mass - 3D curve

    Hello,I would like to creat this 3D roof geometry, but I don`t know which is the best way of doing it?

    The roof edge is curved in plan and in elevation.

    I would like to "extrude along path" the edge profile.

    what is the best way?
    Thanks

    You may not have to work so hard. This is what I would try:
    1. Create a mass with the geometry of the roof surface where the edge of the surface is the path you are indicating in your 3D sketch.
    2. Apply a roof by face on this mass of whatever thickness your roof is.
    3. You may be able to apply a Roof Fascia profile to the edges of your roof, or you could create an In-Place Component and create a sweep picking the edge of your roof as your path.

    Depending on the geometry of your roof and profile, you may get some glitches. I tried both fascia and an In-Place sweep with a similar (but different) geometry and both failed.
