Hi. Congratulations on the next-gen. I love it, but I am struggling to module a pitched roof on a line building.
Line building
Modeling with generic volume on top. I don't manage to add a node.
Also tried with 3D sketch, but couldnt draw a triangle vertically to extrude.
Can anyone help me out? Thanks

Hi @PetroGiancotti,
Happy to help! 3D Sketch is the way to go. 🙌
We've got a guide on this in our help center, which covers a few different approaches and scenarios, including:
I'm assuming you want a more modern, asymmetrical pitched roof, and that's what the guide linked above covers. But I'm happy to follow up with how to create a more traditional symmetrical pitched roof as well, or you can see that covered in the latter steps here.
Enjoy!
Hi @PetroGiancotti,
In case you want to module an A-frame/ gable / double / 2 waters roof you can follow the steps below:

Hello! I had a question related to this topic. Converting a building into a 3D sketch will give us the tools to create an "irregular" geometry. However, it looks like once the building is converted then the area metrics will not pick up the geometry. Is there a way around that? In other words, I'd like to take advantage of the design tool but also be able to do area take offs
Hi @saeeddornajafi,
3D Sketch buildings should definitely contribute to area metrics.
I'll direct message you - we'd like to access a copy of your proposal to investigate more closely, if you'll allow us.
Thanks for letting us know! Stay tuned for a message from me, and we can update this thread once we get a better idea of what's going on.
