Locating Roof Plane Intersections

When roof planes of differing slopes meet,they create a ridge, hip, or valley. While the Join Roof Planes edit button is normally used to move edges to make the planes meet, these edges can also be moved by placing snap points where the ridge, hip or valley should be. Once you know where the planes will meet, you can drag edges or corners to those points, joining the roof planes.

To find a roof plane intersection
  1. Select the roof plane you would like to place meeting points on.
  2. Click the edge of another roof plane to project this edge forward in space and place an "X" where it would meet the selected roof plane.
  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the ridge edge and both fascia edges. You should have three points located on the larger roof plane, the "tie-in" points.
