I would like to see stand-alone eaves (with no walls, and that allow for any angle we need) to be able to add trim to the outside. My childhood home looked like a barn with this trim (Colonial). I understand I can make a barn shaped roof, but the roof we had was “A” shaped, with a trim extending down to the frieze giving the illusion of a barn. You see a lot of these types of homes in New England.

Hello, I looked into making roofs and am yet to find an answer so here I am. Anytime I build a roof, those extra arrows that you have to manipulate the eaves, I dont have those, I only have the basic directional arrows and the height one. So Im wondering if I have to press a hotkey or something to make those eave arrows appear? Also when I build a roof, it tends to stick into my house and you can see it on the inside, but I know that peope can make it so it does not do that, so yet again Im wondering if Im missing a button or hot key or something. 🙁 any help would be appreciated because everything just says manipulate the evaves but I dont have those arrows.

First off ,certain roofs look nice when not hanging off. Secondly, this article literally describes how to make eaves (the overhanging part you’re referring to). You just click and drag the arrows all the way at the bottom of the roof and it goes outward from the wall.

As a builder, I love the new roof options, especially the ability to reduce the overhang. This is really handy when building attics because the roofs no longer “cut” into the living space!

Well damn, I’ve been wanting the octagonal ROOMS to just scale up for years. Can we get some of that action?

I am disappointed. In real life all roofs (except flat ones) hang over the sides. It looks horribly wrong if a roof ends right at the edge of a wall. Just look at the second image here showing an octagonal roof – it is NOT pleasing to the eye.
