QUESTION

Is there a way to easily see where roof planes would intersect?   


ANSWER

The Join Roof Planes edit tool is the easiest way to move roof plane edges so that they meet correctly, but you can also locate where roof planes might meet or intersect using temporary roof intersection points. Once these points are in place, you can drag roof plane edges or corners to these points.  


To create roof plane intersection points

  1. Select a roof plane you would like to have roof plane intersection points on.

    Selecting the roof plane you want intersection points displayed on


  2. Click the Place Roof Intersection Point  edit tool. 


  3. Click the edge of another roof plane, typically the ridge or eave, to place a temporary CAD point where that edge would meet the selected roof plane.

To delete roof plane intersection points


While in a floor plan view, navigate to CAD> Points> Delete Temporary Points from the menu.

Navigating to CAD> Points> Delete Temporary Points


All roof intersection points will be removed from the view and new points can now be generated, if you wish.
