Using Roof StylesUsing Roof StylesIn the Vectorworks Design Series, a roof face or a roof object can be created as either an unstyled or styled roof. Using styled roofs facilitates drawing by saving the roof preference settings so that they can be easily applied to other roofs. Roof styles are resources that can be imported into other files and shared as office standards. Roof styles, textures, and hatches are provided in library files (a selected roof style and associated resources are automatically imported into the current file, and display in the Resource Manager).
If a selected roof style’s parameters are edited, the roof style automatically changes to unstyled, indicating that the edited style must be saved as a new style to save changes (alternatively, the changes can be applied as an unstyled roof, and not get saved).
Unused roof styles can be purged; see Purging Items from a File.
