Thanks for the tutorials! I noticed you had a hard time selecting the point on the roof while in 'Modify Sub-Elements.' I experience the same thing, especially since I'm not used to Tabbing, and it's very frustrating. I'm not sure how it would work in section, but I found that, at least in plan view, you can drag a crossing window across them to select.

I'm not getting the modify sub-elements when I click on certain roofs. Rather, an edit footprint dialog pops up. Do I have to create the roof a certain way for modify sub-elements to be an option?

Thanks

Haha yes... I actually had an email on my phone I peaked at while tabbing... not a good idea. You could also simple grab both points in plan view.. switch windows to the section view and move them both down.

How would you go about creating intersecting planes of tapered insulation? For example, on a roof using tapered insulation, you have additional slopes ("crickets") created with tapered insulation for the purpose of directing water to roof drains. Would this be better accomplished using a Roof tool?
