  1. Create a new 9" Corrugated Deck + Insulation roof that spans between the two buildings using the image below as reference.
  • The roof should have a width equal to half the width of the existing roofs (~11'4") and be flush to the western side of the buildings.
  • The length of this roof segment should be enough to be joined to the existing roof
  • Make the west and east edges of the roof define a slope of 8"/12".
  1. Join this new roof segment to the two existing roofs using the Join/Unjoin Roof tool.
  2. Make sure all walls are attached to the roofs above them.

Tip: Using the Join/Unjoin Roof tool, first select a segment from the part of the roof you wish to delete, then select the face of a different roof that will act as the cutting surface.
