Thought it might behave the same as a roof but I cant add a gutter to a glazed roof (Curtain system canopy). What's the issue?

You're right - my glazed roof will not accept guttering or a fascia.

Odd as sloping glazing otherwise acts as a roof.

Just have to run a sweep along the edge like I did for the ridge glazing bar profile I guess.

What sort of sweep are you using to place the gutter?

I just made a generic model with a sweep solid and picked a path on the line of the upstand under the glazing overhang.

The profile is from the standard library.

You can edit the Instance Properties of the sweep to offset the gutter profile vertically or horizontally.

Hope that you find this useful & that I'm not teaching you to suck eggs...

I just realised you can place Fascia/Gutter/Soffit hosted on a model line thanks to a sample file http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=104037. I set the workplane by pick face and draw the model line to set my edge, then you can apply the gutter but picking the model line.

thanks, never seen that before.

Still can't figure out where 'change mitering option' comes in even after playing about with the sample file... must look again at that.

If you create an angled piece and select it, the mitre tools come up next to the add/remove segments. It wasn't obvious to me at first! On the sample file, select the triangular piece and you should see it.
