Expand Basic and expand General. Click the setting for Description, enter a description of the roof created from this tool, and click OK. Specify a layer key and any layer key overrides if you do not want to use the layer assignments specified in the layer key style used in the drawing. Specify roof settings. Expand Dimensions and enter a value for Thickness and select a new setting for Edge cut.

Expand Next Edge, select a new setting for Shape, and enter a value for Overhang. Expand Lower Slope and enter a value for Plate Height. Expand Upper Slope and enter a value for Upper Height. Click OK. You can create a single slope or double slope roof object. Open the tool palette that contains the roof tool you want to use and select the tool. In the drawing area, specify points for the corners of the roof. When you are finished specifying points, press Enter. You can create a single sloped roof and set each edge to gable as needed.

You can specify a slope for the gable ends to create a hip. You can even create a gable on an existing roof by gripping any ridge line point and stretching it past the roof edge. Open the tool palette that contains the roof tool you want to use and select the tool or use the Build panel on the Home tab of the ribbon.

On the Properties palette, select Single slope for Shape. In the drawing area, specify the first point for the first roof edge. Specify the second point to complete the first sloped roof edge. On the Properties palette, select Gable for Shape. In the drawing area, specify the next point to create a gable roof edge. Select Single slope for Shape.

Specify the next point to create a sloped roof edge. Select Gable slope for Shape. Specify additional points as needed to define the roof and press Enter. To create a clipped gable roof, you first need to convert the gabled roof to roof slabs. You can create a roof that is based on a selected closed set of walls and has the properties of the roof tool you select.

You can edit these properties after creating the roof. The roof takes its plate height from the top of each wall segment. Open the tool palette that contains the roof tool you want to use. Select the walls to convert and press Enter. At the prompt: Select Object to Add : select the stair, and press Enter.

You apply a fascia and soffit to slab or roof slab edges with styles that define edge conditions. You can customize each slab or roof slab edge individually, applying styles and making other adjustments as required by your design.

A slab or roof slab edge style defines the fascia and soffit design from profiles that you create for these components. You can specify whether the style uses a fascia, a soffit, both, or neither. You also specify how the fascia and soffit are positioned relative to the slab or roof slab. Slabs and roof slabs have their own distinct style categories in which individual styles specify the default properties for specific types of slabs or roof slabs.

These properties include dimensions, edge styles for the fascia and soffit, and entity properties for layer, color, and linetype. Slab and roof slab styles allow you to use a different edge style for each edge. You can assign materials to a slab or roof slab. For example, a floor slab can be assigned a material representing tiles with concrete edges.

These materials are displayed in wireframe or rendered views. Materials have specific settings for individual components of slabs or roof slabs, such as the body, fascia and soffit. AutoCAD Architecture provides predefined materials for common design purposes.

These materials contain settings for slabs or roof slabs that you can use as provided or modify for special designs. You can also create materials from scratch. If you create a material to use only for slabs, name it accordingly; for example, Slab—Ceramic Tile or Slab Edge—Concrete. Open the tool palette on which you want to create a tool.
