Adding Roof Accessories

In the Vectorworks Architect product, attic, soffit, and fascia roof accessories can be inserted when a roof object is being created, or they can be added, modified, or deleted later on. If the roof is reshaped, the accessories are automatically regenerated to suit the new shape.

The accessories are part of the roof object. To modify or remove them later on, select the roof object, and change the accessory settings from the Object Info palette.
