Aligning Eaves

Use the Align Eaves tool to realign eave heights of different boundary lines of a roof.

  1. While in sketch mode, click Modify | Roofs > Edit Footprint tabTools panel (Align Eaves).

    Dimensions display near the eaves to indicate their height.

  2. Select a roof eave line, and then select an option for adjusting eave properties:
    • Adjust Height changes the Plate height from roof base or Offset from roof base value.
    • Adjust Overhang changes the eave height by adjusting the Overhang value.
  3. Select the eave that is at the desired overhang/height.
  4. Select remaining eaves whose overhang/height is to be adjusted to match the first eave.

    As you select the remaining eaves, you can choose between adjusting the height or the overhang if you created the roof lines using Pick Walls. If you used the sketch tools to draw the lines, only Adjust Height is available.

  5. Click (Finish Edit Mode).

The results of adjusting the overhang are visible after you finish the roof.
