Is there a way to generate roof geometry with fascia and soffit elements shown correctly as elements with depth (thickness) – instead of simple planes?
Just to add context, the attached is a detail from the tutorial demo model provided.
Hi KADO3D,
Roofing geometry can be draw with a thickness via one of the following methods.
- Method 1: Use the
Capping & Flashing Tool to draw elements like fascia, capping, etc. (roofing & soffit lining would need to use Method 2). - Method 2: Manually draw the different elements using SketchUp tools, then apply a material to each object using the
Custom Estimation Tool so it estimates. Note: You can also use the 
BIM Tool to add the estimation but the sizes & lengths will need to be entered/updated for each object instance.
Note: For either method I would recommend drawing the roof but selecting “none” for the materials. This way you can use the roof geometry to trace around or create the geometry from (depenidng on the method used).
