Thank you Peter & Erika for responding, and congrats E again on your deal!
I now recall the elegant solution devised by Eric Bobrow, described as follows:
There is no way to edit an existing roof node in AC so as to elevate it
, thereby changing the roof plane orientation and altering the pivot line as a result. You can however create a new roof with the desired custom plane, but it must be drawn in the 3D window only.
1) Place three temporary reference points in the model that have the desired elevations which will define the new roof plane. I used one inch diameter columns with the top of columns at the desired elevations as the reference points. Any snapable reference points will do however.
2) In the 3D window and with the Roof Tool selected, click on each of the three reference points described above following the commands in the Statusbar. It goes without saying but three points determine a plane.
3) Continuing to follow the commands in the Statusbar, draw the roof polygon. There can be more than three corners however I find it easiest to trace the three points used to define the plane, then edit the new roof in the Plan View window (adding more nodes there if necessary).
4) Delete the temporary reference points (columns in my case).
Hopefully AC15 will provide a 'Z' edit option in the pet pallet similar to that in the mesh tool.....Scott
