Aligning Roof Eaves<br />

■ Move the cursor along the roof line until the midpoint displays, and then select it to specify<br />

the location of the slope arrow head.<br />

16 Repeat steps 13 - 15 to add the second slope arrow.<br />

Begin the tail at the right reference plane, and move the cursor to place the arrow. The head<br />

should snap to the midpoint of the line as in the previous steps.<br />

17 On the Sketch tab of the Design Bar, click Modify.<br />

18 Press CTRL, select both slope arrows, and click (Properties).<br />

19 Under Constraints, select Slope for Specify.<br />

20 Under Dimensions, enter 500 for Rise/1000, and then click OK.<br />

21 On the Sketch tab of the Design Bar, click Finish Roof to complete the roof.<br />

22 Click (Default 3D View) on the View toolbar to display the model.<br />

NOTE If the front wall is separated from the roof, use the Attach Top/Base command to join the wall<br />

to the roof.<br />

23 Proceed to the next exercise, Aligning Roof Eaves on page 716.<br />

In this exercise, you convert the gable roof over the garage to a hip roof and use the Align Eaves tool to<br />

adjust the eave heights. When you sketch a hip roof, the adjacent eave heights must align. When eave<br />

heights differ, you can use the Align Eaves tool to align them.<br />
