Shed Roofs and Height of Walls

[Elovia]

Hanna,

The pitch of the roof plane can be found mathematically. Doing so would get you a rough-in start, but it isn't completely necessary since you have Pro. You can do it through the trial and error process of adjusting the roof plane through the roof plane specification dialog.

Set the lower wall height by the ceiling height in the room specification dialog. Then select the roof plane (you may be prompted that changes to the roof plane will require the auto rebuild roof option be turned off, and that's ok). In the roof plane specification, you can lock the baseline height (select that radio button) and then change either the pitch which will then change the ridge height, or change the ridge height which will then change the pitch. Make a change and then take either a wall elevation camera view or a back-clipped wall elevation camera view. Use the measure tools to determine if you've made correct settings. If not, adjust the roof plane again in the roof specification dialog. Repeat as required until your walls are the correct as-built dimensions.

Hope this helps.
