How to Move Center of Roof Ridge

Problem: Roof ridge is automatically in the center when creating a roof.

 

Objective: Move the roof ridge so that a roof with equal slopes can extend further on one side. 

 

Known workaround: Create separate roof for the overhang/extended portion.

 

Image description: Notice how the roof ridge is not centered in the brick wall of the building. The highlight mark shows an approximate location of where the roof ridge needs to be at.

Another approach: Roof by Extrusion.  You familiar with this method? Try it; you'll like it.
