Hello everyone Glenn from Australia here.

I created a roof using the polyroof tool and choose 300mm for eve overhang. The roof was created fine but there are parts of the roof I need no eves, and for the life of me I cant work out ho to remove the eve from that part of the roof.
Please help
cheers

Mercedes on the roof edge and use the edge offset button in the pet palette. All polygonal entities edit the same way ...

You are either clicking a corner or the roof slope orientation line [that often coincides with the bottom edge of the roof.]

Does not matter which part of the roof I click I only get drag,rotate, mirror, elevate and multiply. No other options seem to appear.

you are probably selecting the wall or something
Hover the mouse over the edge & use tab to alternate the selection of the plane
