Mod-Roof > Change Eave Height
🧾 What it does
This command allows you to select individual roof sections or an entire roof and adjust their eave height vertically. The height is measured relative to ground level, which is typically assumed to be zero in the project coordinates.
🔧 How to use it
Select the roof sections you want to modify, or select the entire roof structure
Navigate to Mod-Roof > Change Eave Height
The New Eave Height dialog box will appear
Enter the desired new eave height value
Click [OK] to apply the changes
🛠 How it works
When you apply the new eave height, the selected roof planes are moved vertically to match the specified height. The movement occurs in the vertical plane only, maintaining the roof's horizontal positioning and pitch angles.
⚠️ Important considerations
Ground level reference: The eave height is measured relative to ground level, which is assumed to be zero in most projects. If your project uses a different ground level reference, adjust your measurements accordingly.
Connected elements: Changing the eave height will affect the vertical position of connected roof elements such as gutters, fascia boards, and any attached structures.
💡 Tips
Before changing eave heights, consider how the modification will impact the overall roof structure and any connected elements. You can select individual roof sections for precise control or the entire roof for uniform height adjustments.
