Flat Roof

[roza]

I need help as a beginner. I couldn't figure out how to create a flat roof.

 

To create a roof:

- I draw a polyene around the wall

- AEC create roof

- changing the roof slope & eave/gable

 

Then I change the slope to 0 - says "Roof pitch is not valid"

Many ways to do this. And no roof is actually totally flat. 1) try giving slope a small value (1/4" per foot, eg); 2) Use a Roof Face instead of a Roof; 3) If you really want it totally flat, try using a Floor Object; 4) You can use a simple extrude (but a Floor is better, with more control over textures and graphics).

I am not able to give slope value as inches but degree... Is there any way to change degree to inches? I do a mat to figure out slope in inches...

In the Create Roof dialog, you can enter a pitch (slope) value in the following format:   .25:1   (eg). See attached

Thank you!

Slab objects are also good for creating flat roofs. The Slab Drainage feature allows drains to be placed and will create low pitched slopes to them:
