The green barge on both sides of the gable is the SAME roof object. I had to give the CWA a tiny height and lower the baseline below the roof pitching line so I could right click and 'Roof Line /." edit roof line and project into the shape of the gable roof.
Here I've easily adapted a curtain wall to act as my gable infill as the battens suit the repeated spacing. Here is the dutch gable, used in the post war homes around here and every now and again copied today, but not often. A reverse Dutch Gable can also be created by reversing the slopes for the 1st & 2nd slopes. (I'm sure you could do it mathematically.) Your height may be above the ridge so your gable may not show up. I find this hit & miss but I get it eventually. Now in the height column enter the height from the pitching (not eave) edge back to the face of the gable. Click in the slope column for this 2nd face and change the slope to 90 (vertical gable face). It will have the same slope as the main roof. You have now added a 2nd plane for this edge. Select the first edge in the top panel and then click below the last entry in the 2nd panel under the 'Face' column. Where-as before the dialogue box showed you all 4 edges, you now only have the 2 edges you selected. Right click and select 'Edit Edges' and choose the right & left edges. Hint : If you can't change the slope in the properties pallete then it's possibly because you have edited an edge and added an additional individual slope so make your broad changes first before editing edges.Ĭancel out and again select the roof again. Let's cancel out and get back another way so we know which edge we are editing. Now the lower panel shows a slope per selected edge and if you select multiple edges the lower panel greys out.

You can however change overhangs 'en masse' by selecting one, several or all of the edges using Windows standard Control or Shift key options. You can only change one at a time.ĭo it on the properties pallete under 'Slope'. (Note: This dialogue box shows the roof object tool's incomplete nature in several ways.) If you want to change the whole roof pitch DON'T do it here. Choose 'Properties' and on the tool pallete select 'Edges/Faces'. Roof types with 2 constant slopes like the 'Pizza Hut' roof or the 'Mansard' (or American dutch gable,) the flat top roof with a skirt around are better created using the 'Double Slope' option in the Properties Pallete.Ĭreate your rectangular roof with a hip end. The methods here can be used for creating other roof shapes such as a Dutch Gable.

I want to focus on the extra tips for use here in Oz (and anywhere else :-) Here I am going to focus on creating a Gablet (dutch Gable to some) (Gablet-UK) plus a couple of other tips including adding infill, the barge board and dealing with the overhang (underhang?). I'm not going to repeat the basics that are found in the AutoCAD help or the tutorials.
