Below are all commands that operate on roofs.
Export roofs to HBJSON. Use this file to edit the roofs in Pollination Rhino plugin. You can then use the import roofs to import the edited roofs back to Model Editor.
Identify gaps smaller than a specified gap distance.
Find the intersection between two or more roof geometries in 3D space and draw a line (or polyline) in the scene where this intersection exists. Intersection lines will only be drawn on the first roof geometry of the selection and no result will be returned when the intersection of roof planes lies outside the boundary of the first face of the selection. So it may be necessary to adjust the order of the selection if the desired result is not obtained.
Import roofs from a HBJSON file. Import roofs translates all the orphaned shades in the HBJSON file to roof elements.
Show the selected roofs in 3D. The 3D preview shows up in a new floating window.
Reassign the model's roof geometries to the stories to which they are most applicable. This is useful after splitting roof geometries with story boundaries such that different roof elements are now applicable to different stories.
Clean up roof geometries across the model.
Convert roofs to shade objects.
Show tilt of the roof temporarily.
Subtract one roof part from another one. Use this command to clean up colliding roofs where faces overlap in plan and the user wants the taller of the two roof geometries in the overlap to be used.
