Suggested Addon for Pitched Roof Block

ecoeficiente.es · Posts: 16 Location: Spain

Could it be possible to add an option for the Pitched Roof Block so that you could choose its orientation?
Now, gable ends always are always set in the shorter side of the polygon (which may not be the desired position).
Thanks.

Unfortunately this isn't possible using the automatic roof tool. The gable option is an extension to the pitched roof tool which creates an optimum ridge layout and then identifies hips which are converted to gables.

You can however easily generate the type of roof you refer to by creating a horizontal extrusion and you can find a detailed description of this procedure in the DesignBuilder Help under Building Models->Building Geometry->Working with Blocks->Editing Blocks->Divide Block.
