Hi Rav are you using trusses? If so that is a very easy one. Simply choose the Dutch gable option at the top of the truss tool and ensure the setback is and verge rafter overhang is as per your roof . If you are hand cutting Dutch gables that is something we could create, but just a tip: I would us the beam tool for outriggers and the set down rafter. Let us know what you are trying to do and I will see if we can fit one more tutorial in before Christmas.
@@PlusSpec The ridge capping that has to be spliced so half sits under the Dutch gable and then the other half sits over the top. It’s annoying to come across especially if the ridge has to be scribed in under where the eave hangs.
@@ssmith9522 is it for quantities you want this or is it for visuals? if so you will notice ether is already 300mm added in the BOQ. We also don't mitre the base of the ridge cap as many people like to finish flashings it many ways..If we add an option for every possible outcome, the roofing tools would be too hard to use, and as a result no one would use them. Its a 30 second job to triple click the ridge cap and finish how you like. It's a trade off we have to make unfortunately and when you weigh it up the roofing tool already saves countless hours drawing an countless hours estimating. So its not a bad trade off wouldn't you say?
@ssmith9522 copy that, the worst is getting the apron flashing on the Dutch gable under the eave and onto the roof in 40deg C heat...after its been sheeted or tiled. 😓
Great to see thanks for adding 👍
Is this a plugin for roofs or can I find it by default in sketchup

Can you do another video on how to create framing on that dutch gable roof please.

Not annoying at all installing the ridge cap …
The ridge cap is automatically added. Do you mean the barge cap?

@@PlusSpec haha not for the actual roofer (me) who has to physically install your ‘30 second triple click job’ in real life.
