Hi to the ACA/ADT community.

I've posted this file (ACA '07 format) for newbies and also for those into
residential. I wanted to share what I found out whilst playing with the RO for my blog
articles. I think it'll help alot.

YOU CAN EDIT THE ROOF OBJECT AND ........ADD VERTICES !

If you already knew this trick then great but it's not common knowledge.
Why didn't you tell me?
If you have some tricks of your own that you're prepared to share then
please append to this post. We can help each other!

If you are happy using slabs thats okay too. But you may learn something
new that will help you in the sketch designing phase.

(let me know if you want it in 04 or previous format. Of course the AEC
items will be stuffed but all the tricks work back at least to 3.3 but
probably ever since the roof object was introduced. You can xref in and trace
the examples or at least follow them.

Update>>> follow the roof label link below for corrections to even this post. No one knew what this critter could do.

Best to ya

Update: the roof object will also overlap itself, something no one appears to know that it could do including Adesk and even the creator himself. check out the posts here for how to have the RO overlap, overhang, underlap etc. Also how to cut holes in the RO.
