The roof creation tool has gotten significantly dumber in the 10.5 version. We can no longer enter a slope in x:12 format, but have to do some trig to calculate an angle. Architects almost never think about roofing in terms other than x:12. More significantly, the object info palette does not allow us to change the slope or overhang of a roof (unless we ungroup the object and change each plane one at a time). Instead, we have to create a new one; whereas, insignificant info like the proportion of vertical to horizontal on a double-cut eave can be edited in the OIP. Is this tool a work in progress?
