Atrium

Mod-Roof > Atrium

This command allows you to cut-out a portion of the roof along an eave creating an atrium. You can also create a drop down as well.

When you select this command, you are prompted to locate an eave line you want to modify.  After that the Atrium defaults dialog box is displayed allowing you set parameters for the atrium.

Distance along eave
This is the distance along the eave that the atrium cut-out will start. It is measured along the eave, from the end closer to where you selected the eave. For reference, that end begins to flash.

Atrium width
This is the width of the atrium cut-out.

Atrium depth
This is the depth of the cut-out measured horizontally. If you enter a negative number, the atrium extends outward forming an overhang.
