Can someone tell me how to draw a tapered soffit on a prow front roof? At the ridge the soffit is 3 feet and at the bottom, the soffit is 1 foot. See attached photo. ThanksAttached File  tapered soffit.bmp   147.93KB   578 downloads

There are two simple ways:

 

One - you can add some beams on the angle you want, and reference the roof to the beams. You can change them to hidden, and uncheck "Extract in Model".

 

OR

 

Two (which is the way I prefer) you can draw the roof as a square gable, and cut an angled hole (5 sided) to change the fascia angle to whatever you want.

You will end up with the issue that is shown in this thread, but there is no way round that, that I know of, whichever way that you do it.
