Hi.  How do I create a curved roof edge on a shed roof (low slope 1:-12) ?    

 

I know how to make a simple shed roof, but cannot figure how to get the edge to curve to follow the wall below.

 

Attached are photos of similar roof I am trying to create for my boathouse project. 

 

Attached is also my chief file.

 

I am using X10.  

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thank you kindly.

Nice looking project.  A roof plane is a polyline so it can be trimmed with polyline subtraction.  Just create a polyline solid the shape of what needs to be trimmed and preform the boolean subtraction.

Hi.  Thank you both for the quick responses - especially since I have a meeting in 12 hours from now to show my clients a design.  lol.    I will give it a try.  

 

Does the Auto Roof not give you what you need? as Eric shows it seems to work okay in the supplied plan for me too , but I guess I am missing something?

 

The wall settings are wrong in the supplied plan for a shed roof BTW...
