  1. Create three new and separate Roof 2 roofs using in the image below as reference.
  • There should be one long, thin roof on the western (left) side that is 6'0" wide and extends from the entire length of both buildings.
  • The other two roofs will cover the remaining area of each respective building.
  • All of the roof boundaries should extend to the exterior faces of the walls below.
  1. Edit the two eastern (right-most) roof boundaries so that their left edges define a slope of 3"/12".
