<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=746554820-06082009> Just create an exterior wall as you
usually would, then double-click on it in the component list to get the
properties box to open. There, under the "basic specifications" tab, you
can define/choose the location, the polygon that it uses, and the azimuth and
tilt (and some other stuff). Play with this stuff. The "tilt" will
give the "lean-to" effect.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello all,</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am trying to create a lean to roof using the
detailed interface and defining polygon verticies, but I can't seem to get it to
work. I have tried to read the documentation and I don't know if I'm
reading the wrong thing or interpreting it wrong. Any help would be
appreciated. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT> </P>
