Change the Gable Type of a Sketch Roof

Architectural, Framer

Change the shape of the sketch roof eaves as follows:

  1. Select the sketch roof.
  2. Move the cursor near the square grip point of the edge.

  3. Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
  4. Select one of the following:
    • Change Gable Type: Hip
    • Change Gable Type: Gable
    • Change Gable Type: Mansard
    • Change Gable Type: Dutch
    • Remove Gable
  5. Type the hip height of the mansard roof, if necessary.
  6. Select the eaves.
  7. Select Confirm.
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 Edit 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 building 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 Change Gable Type: Mansard.
  • 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.
