Join Roofs

You can join roofs to other roofs or walls, or unjoin them if they were previously joined.

You can join a roof to the top face of another roof and the wall below that roof if you select the wall as the target. The wall must be attached to the target roof and the target roof must be a footprint roof. You cannot join a roof to more than one top face of another roof.

Note: This is a general procedure for joining roofs. You may have variations based on design intent.

1. After you sketch walls and a roof for your design, sketch another roof that you want to join to the original roof.

   Note that you cannot add the second roof by editing the sketch of the first.

2. If desired, set the lines of the second roof to be slope defining, except the roof line that will be coincident with the first roof or the wall.
3. Click View tabCreate panel (Default 3D View).
4. On the View Control Bar, for Visual Style, select Shaded.
5. If necessary, use the ViewCube to spin the design to facilitate selecting the wall or roof edges.
6. Click Modify tabGeometry panel (Join/Unjoin Roof).
7. Select an edge of the roof that you want to join, and then select the wall or roof to which you want to join the roof.

To unjoin roofs, click Modify tabGeometry panel (Join/Unjoin Roof).
