4 Specify the overhang, edge cut, and angle of the edge:
Then… If you want to…
enter a value for Overhang. specify the overhang of the slab/roof slab
select a setting for Edge Cut: specify the orientation of the edge cut
■
Select Square to cut the edge 90 degrees with the plane
of the slab/roof slab.
■ Select Plumb to cut the edge perpendicular to the
ground.
enter a value for Angle. A positive value moves the bottom
of the edge out and a negative value moves the bottom of
the edge in. specify the angle of the edge

Creating Profiles for the Fascia and Soffit
Use this procedure to create a profile for the fascia and soffit.
The profile is made up of closed polylines. To represent solid fascia or soffits, such as a wood fascia, you can create a
profile from a single polyline. To represent fascia or soffits that are extruded, such as aluminum soffits, you can create
a profile from concentric polylines that can include one or more voids. The outer polyline, or ring, becomes the exposed
shape, and the inner polyline, if used, becomes the void. You can create multiple voids by adding more inner closed
polylines. The polylines are proportional in size and shape to each other and to the slab.
You can draw these polylines anywhere in the drawing and use any convenient scale relative to your final fascia or
soffit size. One method for sizing the polylines relative to the slab/roof slab edge is to draw them by snapping to an
existing fascia, and then move your completed polylines to an open area of the drawing to create the profile.
