Roof Plate Line

Pitch for a gable roof the most common is generally 1 4 or 1 3.

Roof plate line.

This parameter is enabled when a roof boundary line is created using pick walls. Plate offset from base. This height is relative to the base level of the roof. Pitch can vary a great deal from a shallow slope up to a very steep pitch.

You can for example specify a new baseline height in the roof plane s specification dialog or select and move the baseline in a 3d view. Adjusts the horizontal offset of the line from its associated wall. Which is equal to 1 4 or 1 3 the total span of the building not counting any overhang. Roof planes generate on the wall top plates which are governed by the ceiling height specified in a given room or floor.

They are cut to the same length as the brickwork they sit on a half lap joint is great for the corners to be fixed to one another. Pitch is the slope or angle from the wall plate to the roof ridge line. The main elements of the gable roof layout are the ridge beam common rafters and wall plate. Available only when picking walls.

Roof slope is commonly represented as x in 12. Squaring and fixing the wall plates to the brickwork. The height above the base level at which the wall and the roof meet. The default value is 0.

The top horizontal line of a building wall upon which the roof rests.
