With combined roof sections, try to match up the height so that the joins are not visible and the ridge capping flows smoothly from one piece to the next. Pull the roof up or down to the desired height and repeat with any other roof sections. Height adjustmentĪdjusting the height is something we can do on all roof types and is as easy as grabbing the up pointing arrow when we highlight a roof section. If your building contains multiple roof sections, you will need to adjust each piece.
Note that any type of adjustment takes effect only on the section of roof highlighted. There are adjustments we can make that can make a small or large difference. There is a little more to building a roof besides placing the right piece or pieces. A little later on, we'll have a look at creating some different roof types. Another trick, is to look at buildings in the real world and try to visualise how it would be made using the sections available in the game. Have a look at pre-built houses in the game and study the way the roof is made, most often by combining several pieces. More advanced roofing consists of a combination of different roof pieces.
The simplest combined roofs consist of just two pieces of the same roof type. We will often have to combine different pieces to get a more realistic looking roof and one that is visually pleasing. A lot of buildings are not squares or rectangles and the roof cannot be made using just one piece of roof.
