Creating cutouts in a roof face

Use the Clip Surface command to add a cutout to a roof face. A cutout, for example, can be used to add a hole for a chimney that overlaps two or more faces of the roof.

The edges of the cutout are mitered according to the selections made in the Create Roof Face dialog box during the creation of the roof face.

To add a cutout to a roof face:

1.      Create an object with the dimensions for the cutout and place it on the roof face where the cutout will be located.

2.Select both objects.

3.Select the command.

This creates the cutout in the roof face, leaving behind the object used to make the cutout.

4.Delete the object used to make the cutout.
