When editing the roof footprint, change properties of a roof boundary line to define its slope, overhang, offset, and more.
To change instance properties, select the element and change its properties on the Properties palette.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Constraints | |
| Defines Roof Slope | For footprint roofs, specifies a roof line to be a slope-defining line. |
| Overhang | Adjusts the horizontal offset of the line from its associated wall. Available only when picking walls. |
| Plate Offset From Base | The height above the base level at which the wall and the roof meet. This height is relative to the base level of the roof. The default value is 0. This parameter is enabled when a roof boundary line is created using Pick Walls. If a sloped footprint roof line has an overhang, the height of the roof at the eave will be different from the height at the wall. With this property, you can specify the height at the wall rather than at the eave. |
| Offset From Roof Base | Specifies the offset of the slope line from the base of the roof. This parameter is enabled when a line is set as slope-defining and it is not associated with a wall. |
| Extend into wall (to core) | Specifies the overhang dimension from the roof edge to the exterior core wall. By default, the overhang dimension is measured from the exterior finish face of the wall. |
| Dimensions | |
| Slope | Specifies the pitch of the roof. This property specifies the slope angle for slope-defining lines. |
| Length | The actual length of the roof boundary line. This is a read-only value. |
