Roofs

Footprint Roofs Roof by Extrusion In-Place Roofs Sloped Glazing Sloped Arrows Roof Typologies
Sloped Arrows
Another way to slope a roof is by manually adding slope arrows to flat roof slabs. This can be useful for unusual shapes, especially if the roof edges are not straight. First create the sketch lines to define the shape of a roof, and do not check Defines Slope on the Option bar. Instead, choose the Slope Arrow tool. Draw the slope arrow in the direction you wish your roof to pitch and at the intended height between the base of the roof and sloped end (Figure 11.43).
Figure 11.43 Slope-defining arrow added to sketch in roof by footprint
Once you’ve drawn the Slope Arrow, you can select it, and in the element properties, you can set any of the parameters shown in Figure 11.44. The most critical parameter to check is Height Off-set At Head. This defines the height of the roof slab from the base to the top of its slope
Figure 11.44 Slope arrow properties
To create a shed roof you can draw a roof without any slope-defining sides and then apply a slope arrow that defines the exact sloping (Figures 11.45 and 11.46).
