  3. Position the cursor over the selection handle for the dormer and click.

  4. The Edit Roof Element dialog box opens.

  5. Select Edit Dormer and change the desired parameters as described in Creating Dormer Windows.

  6. To remove the dormer completely, select Remove Object.

  7. Click OK.

The Object Info palette of a selected roof with a dormer contains additional Dormer Settings parameters:

    Wall Thickness and Roof Thickness: These thickness values apply only to the dormer.

    Use Style For Dormer (Design Series required): If the roof itself has a roof style applied, the same style can be applied to the dormer by selecting Use Style For Dormer. The Roof Thickness of the dormer is then set by the components in the style, and cannot be edited from the Object Info palette.
