#8. Roofs Are Fun When You Understand How They Work

Don

't let the

functio

n fool you

. Sometim

es it doe

sn't work!

The Automatic Roof Tool WillGet Between 0% and 100% Of Your Roof Correct

Automatic Roof Tool Is Not Magic & Does 1 Thing Add a Baseline On All Exterior Walls Baseline Height Set By Room Height Next To Wall Builds 3D CAD Boxes Up From The Baseline Attempts to Join The Roof Planes Together

Get Walls In Place and Platforms SetBefore Using The Automatic Roof Tools

Roof Baselines Are The Starting Point For All Roofs. Baselines Are Initially Set Based On Ceiling Heights.

The Automatic Roof Function Is Used to Get StartedAt Some Point You Will Make a Commitment to Use the Manual Roof Tools

and Stop Using the Automatic Roof Function Completely

#8. Automatic Roof Tools Are Great For Starting a RoofOnce the Baseline is in Place ChiefBuilds Roof Planes Up From Those Lines

As the Roof Planes Build From the BaselineChief Attempts to Connect all the Edges

There is No Database Intelligence to Add Roofs No Structural Elements Are Considered Does not read your mind Is Not Programmed to Confuse You (That’s Up To You) Won't Add ‘Baselines” Over Interior Walls Automatically

#8. "ALL" Roof Planes "START" With a BaselineWhen You Add Roof Baselines Try To Keep Them on The Wall Main Layer

The Parts Of A Roof Plane ‐ The Bullet Points Are The Locking Points (Hinge) Of Each Roof Plane

Adjust Roof Planes in 3D (Z‐Axis) ‐ Ask Yourself "What Part of The Roof Do I NOT Want to Change"

A Roof Plane Is A Closed Polyline Box That Can Be Reshaped and Sized Like Any 2D CAD Object

#8. THe Roof Join Tool Works 100% of the Time

The “JOIN TOOL” Will Join Roof EdgesTogether 100% Of The Time

The only reasons this tool won’t work:The Wrong Edges Have Been Selected

or The Roof Edges Were Not Meant To Be Joined Together

or There Is A “Break” In One Of The Edges

Transform Replicate Can Be Used to Make a Mirrored Copy of Any Roof Plane
