The roof slope is adjusted downwards, but the walls stick up above it they are then cropped again with the same command. The walls are now cropped to match the current slope of the roof. With the walls still selected, the Design menu > Crop to Single-plane Roof… command is used. The four walls are selected using the Select All shortcut (TIP: activate the Wall tool in the Toolbox, then use the Edit menu > Select All Walls command or Command-A or CTRL-A), then their height is increased in the Info box. The roof is selected and its slope is adjusted in the Info box.

The third click with the “eyeball” cursor is made within the building outline, and indicates the upward slope direction. The first two clicks are placed at the outside edge of the left hand wall, and define the “pivot line” for the roof, a virtual line in space where the roof is horizontal at the height set in the roof dialog box or Info box. Shed Roof: the roof tool is activated, and the single plane geometry method is selected, with rectangle construction mode.
These groups are spaced 30′ or 10 m apart each will be used to demonstrate a different method for drawing roofs.ġ.
The Multiply dialog box is briefly examined, and the Drag / Increment option is chosen. This 29 minute lesson teaches the methods used for constructing roofs in ArchiCAD 15.Ī box of 4 walls is created off to the side of the ground floor (20’x30′ or 7 m x 10 m), then the walls are selected and multiplied 6 times using the Multiply command (right-click, select Move > Multiply).
