To Create a Gable Roof With User-Specified Settings

Use this procedure to add a gable roof with settings that you specify. You create a single sloped roof and set each edge to gable as needed. You can specify a slope for the gable ends to create a hip.

Tip: You can create a gable on an existing roof by dragging a ridge line grip to the roof edge or beyond, as shown.
