Create Roof Face with composites similar to wall creation

[Josh NZ]

I am wanting to create a small library of simple roof composites.

For example a roof made up of 30mm/45mm/90mm composites to illustrate the roof thickness, purlin thickness and truss thickness. Can be as simple as 4 solid black lines.

Only draw back is for the life of me I can't find where to add/edit these. In ArchiCAD its as simple as looking in its version of the resource browser.

are you wanting to have these components in your roof? Like a roof Style?

[Josh NZ]

Yeah thats what I'm after. Hopefully have a handful of common sizes for example one with a 45mm thick composite to suit 45mm purlins and another with a 75mm composite.

I cant see the style section on the roof face OIP like you do with the wall OIP thou.

I think you may have to upgrade to v2016.

Is that the right attachment for this topic?

[Josh NZ]

Haha somehow I don't think the person with the cheque book is going to like my reasoning.

So with Vectorworks, Architect 2013 you can't give attributes to a roof in section???

Ive been using Archicad 12 for the last couple of years and I think that feature was available prior to 2010?

Correct, Vectorworks roof and roof face objects did not have a component system until 2016. Other object types had it before then, but it became pretty obvious we needed to add them.
