Slice-Hip

The Slice-Hip command lets you lop off a portion of a hip end.

This situation may arise if the roof is to abut an adjoining property boundary or shared wall.  After selecting the command, you are prompted to locate an eave line.  Then, you enter a station.  The station is the position at which you want to slice the hip in relation to the selected eave measured horizontally.

Note: You can only slice a hip end which is defined as an eave that has a hip at each corner.

By default, the two new raked flashing lines are assigned to be eave

Remember:  you can use the Tools > Cha-LineType command at any time to change one line type to another should you need more control over the flashing used on the new geometry.This first diagram shows the right hand hip has been sliced. You can see the similarity between this and the lay-back gable command.

In this second diagram, the bottom plane is modified. Unlike the previous example, the lay-back gable command would not be able to accommodate this change.
