    I can see the attached two JPGs, so the pictures have been
    attached.  Looking at them, the roof looks like a very shallow
    barrel vault.  Since eQUEST  or any other simulation program that I
    know of, accepts only planar surfaces, you will have to decompose
    the roof into a number of strips running lengthwise.  Since these
    strips will be skinny rectangles, they can be input either with
    WIDTH, HEIGHT, TILT, etc., or as POLYGONs.  John has details on how
    that's done in eQUEST.<br>
