Name Description
Constraints
Level Specifies the level on which to place the soffit.
Height Offset From Level Sets the height of the soffit above or below the level where it is being sketched.
Room Bounding If selected, it means the soffit is part of a room boundary. If not selected, it means the soffit is not part of a room boundary. This property is read-only before creating a soffit. After you draw the soffit, you can select it and then modify this property.
Dimensions
Slope Changes the value of the slope-defining line to the specified value, without the need to edit the sketch. The parameter initially displays a value if there is a slope-defining line. If there is no slope-defining line, the parameter is blank and disabled.
Perimeter Indicates the perimeter of the soffit.
Volume The volume of the soffit. This is a read-only value.
Area The area of the soffit. This is a read-only value.
Identity Data

Phase Created The phase when the soffit was created.
Phase Demolished The phase when the soffit was demolished.
