Re: Type 56 and Pitched Roof

Dear Nate

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Just to clarify,  in the PREBID project initialization menu , under the
'orientations' list do I click on 'Other' and then in the 'Orientation -
Name'  window do I define ROOFN or ROOFS in the 'New Name' box?

Again, thanks for your advise, this has helped me a great deal.

Kind Regards
Yan Kadis
