Roof Plate Line

For example a roof slope that rises 6 inches for every 12 inches of run is said to have a slope of 6 in 12 or simply six twelve.

Roof plate line.

Which is equal to 1 4 or 1 3 the total span of the building not counting any overhang. Pitch can vary a great deal from a shallow slope up to a very steep pitch. Adjusts the horizontal offset of the line from its associated wall. This parameter is enabled when a roof boundary line is created using pick walls.

The default value is 0. Available only when picking walls. Squaring and fixing the wall plates to the brickwork. There are several ways to change the height of a roof plane.

The main elements of the gable roof layout are the ridge beam common rafters and wall plate. Roof slope is commonly represented as x in 12. You can for example specify a new baseline height in the roof plane s specification dialog or select and move the baseline in a 3d view. Plate offset from base.

They are cut to the same length as the brickwork they sit on a half lap joint is great for the corners to be fixed to one another. The height above the base level at which the wall and the roof meet. Roof planes generate on the wall top plates which are governed by the ceiling height specified in a given room or floor. Pitch is the slope or angle from the wall plate to the roof ridge line.

This height is relative to the base level of the roof.
