Roofs
Creating a Roof
This is an introduction to making a simple roof. Some of these movies do not play when using Safari, but they do when using Google Chrome.
Roofs are controlled by a combination of the roof bearing height and the layer elevation. The easiest way to deal with your roof bearing height is to set your Layer Elevation to the same elevation as the layer of the walls supporting the roof. This allows you to measure the bearing height of the roof from the floor slab.

I have looked back at the original movie, I think it should have stopped at 14 min.
