Swayback Gable Roof?

This can get a little unstable as we are pushing Chief beyond what it was designed to do.

I haven't done this in a while, but my recollection is that it becomes much more controllable by using relatively small segments when converting from curve to polyline.

I hope to refresh my memory on this this evening, but I've got to keep working right now.

Right again, Mr. Bill. This time when I converted my arc to a polyline I gave it 36 sides instead of the default 6 sides I had previously used and Bingo! Of course this was only after I spent a couple of hours trying different roof pitches, segment angles and positions of my subtraction polygon to no avail. Now my only complaint is the starter course of shingles doesn't follow the eave line as it had been doing up until this revision but at some point I guess you have to take what you can get and be happy. Again, let me thank you for taking a CA neophyte under your wing on this one.
