Joining Roofs

[mickaeL_renauD]

can someone please help me out with triming my roof so its flush with the other....look at the attached screenshot...

Trim back the overhang on the steeper roof till it aligns with the lower roofs upper extent. You may need to adjust the plate height depending on how you set the parameters.

This is a little complex, but for tight situations where I don't want to mess with changing the plate height like in this case, you can create an In Place family that contains a void that cuts the roof... I can explain more later.

I can not see the whole roof, but if it is just one roof with 2 pitches, you can redo the roof by using the "roof by extrusion" option.

there has to be a way to have these roof join and look clean without inplace families...nothing worked.

does anyone else have any idea on what to do?

[William Troeak]

Did you try the "Roof by Extrusion" option as mentioned by another poster?
I tried this and it works for me......Maybe if you can post a picture with the entire roof we maybe able to come up with a solution.

[mickaeL_renauD]

i got it to work correctly....

I used a comination of roofs...roof by footprint and roof by extrusion then join it.

i attached a screenshot

Great job!

There is.
You could create the whole roof as a single unit and use slope arrows to create the desired effect. In this case use two slope arrows for the double slope area. The lower slope use a slop arrow with its base at the fascia and the head at the wall and choose to define the height of the base and the top. The second arrow's base would start at the top of the first and you can use slope to define the projection (you will need to set the base height and the slope info in the arrow properties).

This is hard to describe verbally but hopefully this makes sense. Slope arrows take some getting use to.

I see what your saying...thanks for more of the input...very useful!
