C. Miter Roof SlabsTool has local menu item: "By Intersection". If define option "By Intersection":
Use this procedure to miter Available in TurboCAD Pro Platinum only


The Miter Two Roof Slabs tool allow you to bring two Roof Slabs together with a smooth joint.

The tool has a single option in the local menu: By Intersection

Use this option when you are mitering two intersecting roof slabs. Both roof slabs are trimmed along the intersection of their perimeter lines. Vertices are added or removed as required. The new edges of the roof slabs are set to angles required for a true miter cut. If the slab thicknesses of the two edges are different, the angles are different1. will be different You cannot use this option if the slabs do not intersect.

If the two Roof Slabs do not intersect you can miter two slabs by selecting edges to extend and meet (similar to the 2D Meet 2 Lines tool).  Only one edge of each roof slab is mitered. You can miter edges of roof slabs without altering the entire slab. To accomplish this, however, you may need to insert additional vertices. Only one edge of each roof slab is mitered.1.

  1. Make sure that the By Intersection option is off in the local menu.
  2. Select one edge on the first roof slab.

B. Extending a Slab/Roof Slab

Use this procedure to extend a slab or roof slab to a plane defined by another slab, roof slab, or wall. This target object itself does not have to intersect with the extended slab/roof slab, as long as it projects an intersection in the current user coordinate system (UCS).

1) Select the target flat plane
2) Select the first edge to lengthen
3) Select the second edge to lengthen
