Pyramid works in much the same way as gable – you select 3 points to create your roof from.The dropdowns allow you to adjust the kind of gables created. The gable ended roof allows you to pick the side of your roof that the gable will be on by selecting multiple points.Mansard/Sprocket allows you to set the lower and upper roof slopes, as well as the height of the upper roof (in addition to all the other tools we discussed before).Note that the only materials that show up in these lists are materials actively in your model, so you may need to create a little surface somewhere with the roof material you’d like on it. Select layer and materials – set what layer the roof gets placed on, as well as the material of the roof, soffit, and fascia.You can also set if the fascia or the soffit slope. Fascia Size and Soffit Size – Allow you to set the height of the vertical fascia on your roof as well as the length of the overhang.Now let’s take a look at some of the options that come along with this extension: I’ve linked to it up above – it’s a very comprehensive guide with some very helpful tips. The first thing I want to note is there is a very helpful help file that doesn’t get downloaded and installed with this extension. In addition, it also contains a tool that allows you to measure the slope of a face.
