✅ What Drop-Eave does
The Drop-Eave command lets you drop the eave along the full length of a plane edge, based on a horizontal offset.
🧠 How it relates to Atrium
This command is like the Atrium command, but it assumes the full length of the eave.
🛠️ How to use Drop-Eave
Select Mod-Roof > Drop-Eave.
When prompted, locate the eave you want to drop.
Enter the horizontal offset you want the eave to move.
📐 What the horizontal offset actually does
Roof Wizard uses your horizontal offset plus the pitch of the plane.
The eave is then projected in the line of the plane by the horizontal amount you entered.
The net effect is the eave is dropped down in the plane of the roof (i.e. at the same pitch).
💡 Note: Dropping the eave by a specific vertical amount
If you want to drop the eave down by a specific vertical amount, enter the following into the dialog box:
dh / tan(pitch)
dh = the amount you want to drop the eave by
pitch = the pitch of the roof plane in degrees
