Is there a way to make a roof and set the ridge at a particular fixed location without doing mathematical gymnastics in order to get in the in the desired location? I don't know how I would even begin to go about that based on slope and distance alone. I have a fixed location where I want the ridge to be located based on the structure of the building and I also have a specific slope that I want it at. Is there a way to work within that?

You can put it at a specific spot if you locate the ridges and valleys with Shape Editing (modify sub elements) instead of slope defining elements.Originally posted by katewood1989 View Post
You won't be able to do that AND predefine a slope, though, as then it would need to force different have heights if you don't place to ridge appropriately.

If there are no slope defining elements, you select the roof and hit Modify Sub Elements in the ribbon.Originally posted by katewood1989 View Post
The button won't be there if there are slopes on the roof. You have to flatten it first.

Super-inelegant, but I might make the roof from two roofs, each coincident boundary set at the ridge and sloping to the ridge from either side, then manually move both in section to align with the intended ridge height. That would set the plate heights each side.Comment

Build the roof with the slope that you want...don't worry about the heights and then cut a section and move the roof point to the height that you want it to be.
But a picture of what you are trying to accomplish could help too.Michael "MP" Patrick (Deceased - R.I.P)Comment

Much simpler than my idea. I was assuming the ridge at a point in space that was not centered between the known eave lines.Originally posted by MPwuzhere View PostComment
