Use this procedure to relocate a roof by changing the coordinate values of its insertion point. The roof also has an orientation with respect to the world coordinate system (WCS) or the current user coordinate system (UCS). For example, if the top and bottom of the roof are parallel to the XY plane, its normal is parallel to the Z axis. You can change the orientation of the roof by aligning its normal with another axis. You can also rotate the roof on its plane by changing the rotation angle.
| If you want to… | Then… |
|---|---|
| relocate the roof | enter new coordinate values under Insertion Point. |
| locate the roof on the XY plane | make the normal of the roof parallel to the Z axis: under Normal, enter 1 for Z, and enter 0 for X and Y. |
| locate the roof on the YZ plane | make the normal of the roof parallel to the X axis: under Normal, enter 1 for X and enter 0 for Y and Z. |
| locate the roof on the XZ plane | make the normal of the roof parallel to the Y axis: under Normal, enter 1 for Y, and enter0 for X and Z. |
| change the rotation of the roof | enter a new value for Rotation Angle. |
