Made a roof by extrusion, it looks like the top half of a cylinder laying down (semi-circle x-section). I want to add a slope while keeping the same semi-circle cross-section like "propping" up one side of the roof in real life. Can't rotate the roof because it was made in a vertical plane, but disassociating the plane doesn't let me rotate the extrusion. This rotation is in the plane perpendicular to the profile. I also can't select a sloped reference plane to make the profile in the first place...Do I have to make an in place mass/component? This seems like a simple situation.

Try:
-Use a Void to cut the Roof.
Set the Work plane to be perpendicular to the end of the roof.
Create the Void, model-in-place.
Use Cut Geometry to cut the roof.
If I set the work plane perpendicular to the roof and make a void, that would just cut off the top and not cut out the "inside" of the cylinder's shell, also I want to the top to be a semi-circle and cutting a void would leave a flat top and not be able to make it curved because it's viewed from the side.
Is there a way to work with what I have and not make additional voids set up to the reference work plane?
Cut a section along the roof and rotate the reference plane used to draw the extrusion profile.
Didn't work. I think you have two options:
- Create an in place roof
- Create a sloped mass and roof by face

Maybe I'm missing something here, but why can't you just sketch the shape you need from the get-go instead of trying to rotate it?
Thank you!! Your screencast is especially useful because I haven't used the swept extrusion tool before and probably would have spent the rest of the day messing with the different in place models.
@barthbradley, it can't be sketched from the beginning because it'll just extrude flat/horizontally from the work planes you're allowed to pick from.
ToanDN,
That's been bugging me for ages. Thank you sooo much for the screen cast ... very brilliant!
