Roof Plate Line

For example a roof slope that rises 6 inches for every 12 inches of run is said to have a slope of 6 in 12 or simply six twelve.

Roof plate line.

Squaring and fixing the wall plates to the brickwork. 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. This parameter is enabled when a roof boundary line is created using pick walls.

Plate offset from base. Adjusts the horizontal offset of the line from its associated wall. There are several ways to change the height of a roof plane. The top horizontal line of a building wall upon which the roof rests.

Pitch for a gable roof the most common is generally 1 4 or 1 3. This height is relative to the base level of the roof. 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.

Roof planes generate on the wall top plates which are governed by the ceiling height specified in a given room or floor. In order for all the roof components to work they must be square parallel level and fixed down properly. Roof slope is commonly represented as x in 12. Available only when picking walls.

The default value is 0.
