So now we're ready to place the gutter in. So we're zoom in close because
00:07
we need to make sure we pick the top front edge of the FAA
00:11
for the gutter to follow along.
00:15
And now we can see that gutter applied along the edge of that
00:18
there.
00:19
So we can continue to click the same edge.
00:22
And then as we go, we can see it
00:25
creating the might corner.
00:27
So we get that gutter flowing around the edge of the building
00:30
attached to the edge of the photo
00:34
so that completes place in the gutter.
00:37
And we can see that profile now
00:39
being used
00:40
along the top of the facial
00:42
as we wanted it.
00:45
So now looking at the smaller roof at the top of the building here,
00:50
we need to place a face
00:52
on these edges too.
00:54
So we'll go back to the architecture ribbon tab
00:56
from the build panel under the roof tools.
00:59
We'll choose the roof fa tool again
01:02
from the type selector. We have our Facia built up one by 10.
01:05
Let's change this to be the Facia flat one by six
01:10
and that zoom in a little,
01:11
we can click on the top edge of the roof to place that fraser along.
01:15
And then we can do the same on the opposite side.
01:18
However, we can see that the roof sticks down beneath the
01:20
cier
01:21
and it would be good to be able to control this.
01:24
So let's go to the project browser and we'll open up this south elevation view
01:31
and zooming in. We can see the roof at the top of the building here,
01:34
we can see the Faure
01:36
here at the edge
01:37
and the roof sticking down beneath that. So
01:40
with the roof selected,
01:41
if we look at the properties panel here on the construction panel,
01:45
we have a parameter for rafter cut
01:47
and it's currently set to be plum cut,
01:50
which means it just cuts vertically down through the thickness of the roof.
01:55
If we go back and we change this to be two cut plum,
01:58
we can then see that beneath this,
01:60
we have the facial depth parameter that we can edit.
02:03
So we'll set this to be six inches.
02:07
And now once we apply this,
02:09
we can see the roof fatio
02:11
it's cut back. So it comes six inches down from the edge of the roof here
02:16
and then cuts back horizontally.
02:19
You see it's still a little bit too deep. So let's change this to five inches.
02:25
And now we can see that
02:26
just sticking beneath the actual thickness of the roof there.
02:30
And that's the same. Now on the other side as it's one roof both sides
02:34
going back to the properties pallet.
02:36
Here we change the raft cut to be two cuts square.
02:40
And we can see now that the edge of the roof,
02:42
the face of the roof there now returns at a right angle to the slope of the roof
02:47
and it keeps that five inch depth before it cuts off horizontally.
02:51
So this is how we want the edge of the roof to be
02:54
though. Looking at the fa now we can see that that's still vertical.
02:58
So if I select the fa
02:59
and we go to the properties palette here,
03:01
you see, we have an angle parameter for the profile
03:05
and looking at the spot slope annotation on the roof.
03:08
Here, we can see that we have an angle of 26.57 degrees. So
03:13
we can enter that angle in although we need to enter it as a negative.
03:16
So negative is 26.57.
03:19
And then when we apply that,
03:20
we can see the facial rotate round to match the angle of the roof.
03:24
Now
03:25
we'll go back to the 3D view.
03:27
There is an alternative way of adjusting that angle.
03:32
So I'll select the facia and we'll set that angle back to zero first
03:36
and we can see it now sticking down from the roof
03:40
and now with it selected, we'll go up to the modify Faa's
03:43
ribbon tool here and we'll click on the add, remove segments.
03:48
And now if we remove the segment that we've already
03:50
got created by clicking on that edge of the roof
03:54
and then clicking immediately on the same edge to reapply it.
03:56
We can see that it gets applied at the correct angle now.
04:01
So we'll do this on the other side of the roof to remove that off and then reapply it.
04:05
And again, we can see both faces here at the correct angle for the roof
04:11
and zoom out.
04:11
Now, we can see we've got the faces and gutters completed around all of the roofs.
