Add Eaves Trims

Architectural

With this function, eave trims are added to a roof. Some eave trim sets also include gutters. You can add eave trims to one or several slopes, or to the entire roof. Eave trims are added to all eaves of the slope at once, except the eave sections against walls. The joints of the trim piece ends are formed automatically and the eave trims are combined with the eaves, in which case, for example, if the eave is moved, the eave trims are moved with it.

  1. Select the slope. Select several slopes by holding down the Ctrl key.
  2. Select Plane Structure | Complementary Parts | Eaves Trims. The Eave Trims dialog box opens.
  3. Select the eave trim set in the dialog box.
