Roof properties
Wall settings from the Object Info palette apply to all gable or Dutch hip walls in the roof; to adjust each gable wall individually, use the Edit Roof Settings dialog box.
The fields in the Object Info palette are named similarly (but not always identically) to those in the Roof Preferences dialog box, and roughly reflect the order in which settings are entered in the dialog box, for ease of editing.
The roof parameters are described in Roof preferences. Only the parameters that are different are described here.
