wizard. Unfortunately, I gave up on wizards long enough ago to have
forgotten their specifics.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=968021914-22092009> <FONT
face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>For what it is worth, I will supply this answer
concerning the detailed mode: Define your exterior walls on the left and
right of your shown cross-section as exterior walls and use the "height"
parameter to set their heights independently of the floor height. Define
whatever exterior walls (if any) that would be parallel to the computer screen
surface that shows your cross-section as exterior walls referencing
polygons. Define the roof as an exterior wall and use the "tilt" parameter
to make it tilted. For all elements, check out the "azimuth" parameter to
ensure proper rotation in plan view.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=968021914-22092009> <FONT
face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I suggest a mix of trial-and-error and doing
good 'ol high school trigonometry by hand on paper until it all works out.
Tedious, I know. But after alot of struggle doing things the
"user-friendly" way, I have found this approach easier.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=968021914-22092009> <FONT

roof?<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV class=Section1>
<P class=MsoNormal>Is there a way in the eQuest DD Wizard to make a full tilted
roof? I know there is a way to make a pitched roof, but that seems more
geared towards residential applications as they don’t give you much flexibility
in tailoring it to your custom project. I’m sure there is a way in the
Detailed Edit mode but in my first few attempts at that all my polygons went
crazy. This is the type of tilted roof I want to model (section view) that
is tilted on the south orientation for PV panels:<o:p></o:p></P>
