FUNCTION CreateRoof(
				genGableWall         : BOOLEAN;
				bearingInsetDistance : REAL;
				roofThickDistance    : REAL;
				miterType            : INTEGER;
				vertMiterDistance    : REAL): HANDLE;
def vs.CreateRoof(genGableWall, bearingInsetDistance, roofThickDistance, miterType, vertMiterDistance):
    return HANDLE

Parameters

Name Type Description
genGableWall BOOLEAN Specifies gable roof generation.
bearingInsetDistance REAL Bearing inset distance of wall into roof.
roofThickDistance REAL Roof thickness.
miterType INTEGER Miter style of roof.
vertMiterDistance REAL Vertical component for double miters.

Remarks

Use AppendRoofEdge() to define the roof plan. genGableWall: Create wall object on gable ends, otherwise no wall is created. bearingInset is where the weight of the roof rests on the wall. This is an inset from the defining edge of the roof plan. miterType: 1: vertical miter, 2: horizontal miter, 3: double miter , 4: square miter vertMiter: Specifies vertical len of double miter.
