| Roof: the slopes' vertices have incorrect heightPatrizio 2025-09-25 12:37:36 Here's another interesting technical support case that may be of use to our users REQUEST how to proceed when closing the roof editor the error message appears  Answer: In closing the Roof editor, some checks are carried out on the modeling of the slopes and consequently on the correct closure of the Roof. One of these controls concerns the altitude at which the vertices of two adjacent slopes are placed. If two or more slopes adjacent to each other do NOT have vertices at the same altitude, a special message tells us the anomaly. The check is carried out, however, only if the difference in height between the apexes of the slopes is less than or equal to 5 mm. Otherwise, no anomaly is reported. By confirming the message, you can exit the editor, but the flap or flaps subject to the error will not appear in the 3D model and will be reported as in error (click HERE to view an image). To complete a correct modeling of the Roof, it is necessary to solve the anomaly reported. To do this, CANCEL the message and make a magnification in the 3D view near the vertex in error, so that you can see the difference in height between the two layers. By viewing the different heights between the two slope, it is necessary to determine below whether to raise one or lower the other slope (click HERE to view an image) and then change the height. However, we may be faced with different scenarios. In this case, it is necessary to proceed differently. SCENARIO 1 - REGULAR-SHAPED SLOPES In the case where the slope reported in the ERROR has a regular shape, i.e. the ridge and the eaves are parallel to each other, the inclination of the slope can be attributed by means of the "slope line". First, with respect to the slope that has been identified as to be "corrected", it is necessary to ensure that the upper vertex of the slope line is placed at the ridge's apex and perpendicular to it. If this is not the case, it is necessary to take the view in plan of the slope and change the position of the apex of the slope line , hooking it to the top of the slope and perpendicularly. (click HERE to watch the video) Corrected the position in plan of the slope line, it is necessary to take the 3D view and correct the height of the slope. To do this, you must select the top of the slope line and use the snaps to attach to the top of the adjacent slope table. Aligning the dimensions of the two slopes in this way. (click HERE to watch a video) SCENARIO 2 - IRREGULAR-SHAPED SLOPES In the event that the slope signal by the report has an irregular shape , i.e. the peak and the eaves are NOT parallel to each other , then the shape of the slope is trapezoidal, or they have a triangular shape , to incline the surface, the slope "must be defined by three points". To change the slope type of the roof, select the slope line of the roof and in the Properties on the right, access the field "Definition type" and change from "slope line" to "by three points". (click HERE to watch a video) 3 points are shown in the plan view , for the roof for which we have changed the definition of the slope. You must select these points and place two at the top. (click HERE to watch a video) Next, go to the 3D view and for the roof, select a first point on the ridge and use the snaps to attach to the ridge of the adjacent slope. Repeat the operation also for the second point on the ridge. Aligning the dimensions of the two slopes in this way (click HERE to watch a video). The operation must be repeated for all slopes that have vertices with incorrect height. Once all the vertices have been positioned at the correct height, it is possible to terminate the Roof editor without any other signals.
