I have a problem with the Roof tool in that I can't place a Dormer where I need it.
I've posted a wish for being able to "extend roofs without ungrouping" which I've learnt you can already sort of do by extending the eaves (not ideal). The other option I asked for was to be able to "put Dormers into Roof Faces, as opposed to just Roofs," (which again isn't ideal, because Roof Faces aren't as intelligent as Roofs).
So, having got some feedback, I think what we really need is either the ability to place a Roof Dormer beyond the building line (i.e. a "negative building line offset") into an extended eaves (again, not ideal).
Or, the best solution in my opinion, more control when modifying Roofs, and in my instance I'd want to be able to lock the ridge line and then modify/move a section of the building line and have the relevant face of the roof extend along it's pitch to suit.
