Move dormers

[andreas Ø]

Hi, I have been looking for a way to do something that, in my mind, should be very simple.
I want to move a dormer placed on a roof face. And along with that, I would like to copy dormers on a roofface and distribute them.
Cheers and thanks in advance

@andreas Ø, to move, once a dormer is set, double click on the blue node, you'll get a dialog. See attached. "Building Line Offset" lets you move it up and down slope, "Offset from corner" lets you move it side-to-side.

I believe to duplicate, you need to create a new one each time. I'll file an Enhancement request to see if we can get some sort of "Duplicate" option.

 

I consider the automatic dormer maker a conceptual tool. Once you get a general shape, you can "explode" it by ungrouping.  You then have walls and roofs that you can additionally modify.
