ADVANCED ROOF TIPS

1- SET CUTOFF LEVEL TO CUT ROOF HORIZONTALLY

In the properties, set a cutoff level to cut the roof horizontally. This can
be used to create a gambrel roof and other roof type where the slope is
interrupted.

2- USE ROOF BY EXTRUSION FOR WEIRD ROOF SHAPE

You want a fully curved sexy roof? Use the Roof by Extrusion tool.
First, set an horizontal Workplane. Then draw the profile line of the
desired roof. That line represents the Top of the completed roof. Adjust
Extrusion Start/End to make sure the roof is the correct length.

6- REPLACE CURTAIN PANEL BY A DOOR

Curtain panels can be replaced by a door. These doors are different from
regular doors: their size is dictated by the space between curtain grids.
