Use this procedure to change the dimensions of a roof, including the plate height, the upper height for a double slope (gambrel) roof, the slope, and the depth of the overhang. You can also change the thickness of the roof slabs and the type of roof edge.
Note: You can create a gable end on a roof by gripping any ridge line point and stretching it past the roof edge.

- On the Properties palette, specify roof settings:
If you want to… Then… change the thickness value under Dimensions, enter a value for Thickness. change the type of edge under Dimensions, select a new setting for Edge cut. change the number of slopes under Dimensions, select a new setting for Shape. add or remove the overhang, or change the overhang value under Dimensions, enter a value for Overhang. change the plate height under Lower Slope, enter a value for Plate Height. change the upper height for a double slope roof under Upper Slope, enter a value for Upper Height. change the rise or slope angle for each slope under Lower Slope, or Upper Slope for a double slope roof, enter a value for Rise or Slope.
