I used the fascia tool, along with model lines. Here's a thread on it. Post #22 by the one and only Martijn is an excellent tutorial, with pictures. That's exactly how I did it.

For the porch, I used a wall sweep. The only reason I didn't use a wall sweep for the top area is because:

1. The returns where the parapet breaks the fascia. There isn't a wall that is perpendicular to the main wall in that area, so a wall sweep wouldn't give me that slight return.
2. The peaks themselves. They are created by editing the walls profile. Walls sweeps are only horizontal (that I know of), so it would cut horizontally across the peak.

Both the wall sweep and the fascia are driven by the same profile. So, you will first need to create a profile family and load that into the project.

Hey, Dan - I didn't know they were turning the Alamo into a get-hosed-&-lubed joint.
