[Equest-users] sloping roof error

[Amruta Khanolkar]

Thanks Vikram.

But the actual roof is a simple Gable roof with all the ridge lines
aligned. Equest is building it as pitched roof after I check the sloping
roof option box. I wanted to make that end as simple Gable end with aligned
ridgeline and same height as other ridges. Please find the attached image
of the expected roof plan.

Thanks,
Amruta
