Can anyone help me set up the roof options in order to draw flat truss roof with a parapet?

i'd create another drawing within the model higher then the main floor you're showing.  you posed this awhile back, how did you proceed?

I used the parapet option that is new for 2022 and it did end up working quite well. I was having trouble with it because of an issue with my wall definition. Through trial and error, I worked it out. 

I am curious what you meant by creating another drawing with the model. How would you do that?

I find the options for flat roofs quite limiting as far as fascia details.

FYI you can use interiors to add trim to the exterior if you cannot get other tools (solid cube or polygon) to work the way you want. I find chair rail for interior and banding for exterior to work fairly well. Also, in 3D you can draw any profile, but with complicated geometry it does not clean up well.

Thanks Mark, that's interesting, I will try that.

 

By the way Joseph, I now understand what you meant by "create another drawing within the model higher then the main floor you're showing". That makes good sense.
