Tips for Joining Roofs

The Join/Unjoin Roof tool does not join or unjoin a wall to a roof. To join a wall to a roof, select the
wall and click Modify Walls tab
on page 651.
You cannot join a roof to more than one top face of another roof.
You can join a roof to the top face of another roof and the wall below that roof if you select the wall as
the target. The wall must be attached to the target roof and the target roof must be a footprint roof.

Modifying a Roof

You can modify the appearance of roofs in several ways.
If you edit the roof sketch, you can: change the shape of the sketch, change the slope of the roof, add cutouts
or holes to a roof, or change the height of the roof. You can also make some modifications to roofs from a
project view, such as resizing the roof or roof ridges.
After completing the roof, you can change its position by moving its base level, either graphically or by
editing properties. If you are in sketch mode and click Properties, you can edit the Base Level and Offset
properties to change the position of the reference plane. When you return to a project view, the roof has
moved according to the changes to the reference level.
In a project view, you might be warned that the roof geometry cannot move when you attempt to change
the base level or offset. Edit the roof sketch, and check for constraints on the sketch, such as between a level
line and a sketch line of the roof.

Changing the Roof Type

To change the roof type in sketch mode
1 Click Create Roof tab
2 In the Instance Properties dialog, select a roof type from the Type list.
3 Click OK.
