Creating a Gable Roof with User-Specified Settings
Use this procedure to add a gable roof with settings that you specify. You create a single sloped roof and set each edge
to gable as needed. You can specify a slope for the gable ends to create a hip.
TIP You can create a gable on an existing roof by dragging a ridge line grip to the roof edge or beyond, as shown.

Creating a Roof from Walls
Use this procedure to create a roof that is based on a selected closed set of walls and has the properties of the roof tool
you select. You can edit these properties after creating the roof. The roof takes its plate height from the top of each
wall segment.
NOTE If your walls are not properly cleaned up, the roof conversion is unpredictable. For more information, see
