Modify Roof > Delete Hole
What it does
This function allows you to remove a hole created in a plane, without having to re-create the plane. For example, this situation might exist if you have deleted a dormer, instead of using Undo to remove it. If you have done a lot of work after the insertion of the dormer, then you would not want to use the Undo function.
🛠 Common scenario
When you delete a dormer using standard delete functions (rather than Undo), a hole is left in the roof plane where the dormer was located. The Delete Hole function fills this gap by rebuilding the plane without the hole.
In this example you delete the Dormer, but the hole remains:
Simply select one of the perimeter lines, and the plane is re-built without the hole:
🔧 How to use it
Locate the hole in your roof plane (typically after deleting a dormer or similar feature)
Go to Modify Roof > Delete Hole
Select one of the perimeter lines around the hole edge
The plane will be automatically rebuilt without the hole
💡 Tips
This function is particularly useful when you've made significant progress after inserting a dormer and don't want to lose work by using Undo
Select any of the lines that form the boundary of the hole - the software will automatically detect and fill the entire opening
The plane material and properties will be restored to match the surrounding roof area
⚠️ Important notes
This function specifically targets holes created by deleted features - it won't work on intentional openings like skylights that are part of your design
Make sure you select a perimeter line of the hole itself, not other roof lines
