Swayback Gable Roof?

Thanks for the compliment; I've explored this area before.

Here's the next step to make it more realistic; you'll want to curve the eaves outward at the center of the building. You can do this with the polyline subtraction tool. See this thread: http://www.chieftalk.com/showthread....used+roof+edge

You can use any curve that you can develop in chief including an ellipse, or partial ellipse.

Dang it Bill, you couldn't leave well enough alone. Here I was happy to get what I had and you had to go and up the ante. Well, I can put holes in my roof no problem with the polyline subtraction tool but when I use it to reshape the eaves I am getting unwanted results. I can get a nice bowed out eave line but for some reason the roof planes are generating from the ridge off into space instead of from the eaves to the ridge. You got any idea what's going on here?
