Changing the eave shape

Change the shape of the sketch roof eaves in the following way:

1. Select Roofs > Roof Generator > Change Gable Type.
2. Select the eave shape from the contextual toolbar.
   • Hip
   • Gable
   • Mansard
   • Dutch
   • Remove gable
3. Type the hip height of the mansard roof, if necessary.
4. Select the eaves.
5. Select the Confirm function.

Note

• The parameters of the mansard and Dutch eave types are defined while adding the eave line of the sketch roof. The parameters of an existing sketch roof can be edited with the Editing roof parameters function.
• When mansard is selected as the eave shape, a text box opens for typing the hip height of the roof. The default hip height is defined in the basic project parameters (MANSARD_HIP_DZ). If the hip height is not typed, i.e. the text field is left empty, the hip is positioned according to the pitches defined in the roof parameters such that the eave and gable of the roof stay at their existing elevations. The hip height value can be re-typed by clicking the Mansard button.
• With the Remove gable function, the roof is limited with a vertical plane positioned at the eave, in which case the existing shape defined by the other eaves becomes the eave shape.
