Create a Multi-plane Roof
On the Floor Plan or 3D Window:
1.
Select the Roof Tool. In Roof Settings or the Info Box, adjust the main roof parameters (e.g. pitch, surfaces, eaves overhang).
2.
Choose the Multi-plane method from the Info Box or from Roof Settings.
3.
Choose one of the construction Methods from the
Info Box:
•
Complex
•
Hip
•
Gable
•
Rotated Hip
•
Rotated Gable
4.
Start drawing the pivot polygon of the Multi-plane roof - usually, along the outline of your building structure.
5.
Close the polygon to complete the Multi-plane roof.
6.
Alternatively, use the Magic Wand (space+click) on an existing Wall to instantly place the pivot polygon and the resulting Multi-plane roof.
The result is a single roof element, consisting of multiple planes. You can further edit the roof plane by plane (for example, assign a custom surface or pitch to any plane), but the roof always remains a single element.

.
Even after the roof is created, you can easily change the roof geometry by graphically editing the pivot polygon or the roof ridge.

You can divide a Multi-plane Roof structure into multiple horizontal levels or segments, e.g. to make a mansard Roof.
