Sloped Roofs: Cantilevers
Sloped Roofs: Cantilevers
(OP)
Whenever I slope a roof, I can't cantilever off the the side to make an overhang. Orginally I assumed that sloped roofs could not model overhangs. Then recently I realized that it works if I modeled the entire roof flat with the overhangs AND THEN sloped the roof.
Was I having this problem because the cantilevers would be cantilevered into a negative elevation offset for the end node? Or is it a hard and fast rule that sloped members aren't aloud to be cantilevered?

RE: Sloped Roofs: Cantilevers
But, once it is sloped then adding in cantilevers gets really tricky.... Think about multi-sloped roofs like hip and gable roofs. The program would have to do a lot more error checking to allow this. It may allow this one day, but not in the first release that included sloped floors.
