    Default Steanding Seam Roof/ Sloped Glazing Problem

    I am using the method of using sloped glazing and small mullions to create standing seam roof. My problem is that now that I have all of the grids and mullions in place, I need to add another roof to the first one and join the two. It doesn't seem to work. Anyone have workaround for this?

    This may not be what you what to hear but I don't think that joining sloped glazing will work. The sloping glazing method starts with a simple roof which is then changed to sloped glazing. Although I've used this several times I dont know if it will even work on joined roofs.
    I think unless somone else knows better that you will have to start with a new simple roof and then convert again to sloping glazing. Which of course means setting up the mullions again.

    The Sloped Glazing cannot be used as a "target" for other roofs to attach. In these cases (and potentially for other "stubborn" roofs) you can control the intersection directly.

    First, make the roof to "join" the main roof completely overlap the main roof (See Overlap.gif attached).

    Next, go to the site plan view, set the display to shading and trace the intersection of the roofs with Detail Lines (Wide Lines are nice here). Then, select the "joining" roof and edit its footprint using the detail lines just sketched to define where the roof should stop to meet the main roof (See Sketch.gif).

    Finish the sketch and you will have an equivalent roof... almost... the geometry will be identical to a truly joined roof, but it will not be fully parametric.

    For future reference... you should be able to join both roofs prior to changing them to sloped glazing. This will allow them to retain their parametric qualities with each other as either roof footprint changes. There is some quirkiness to the mullions being added in pattern when changing the secondary roof projection from the model but changing the location of the primary roof plane seems to work quite well.
