BlenderBIM - Roof Tool

edited March 1 in General

I have been thinking about the Parametric Geometry Roof tool.
Here are a couple of ideas that may improve its use. Before adding an 'issue' I thought some feedback from around the globe would be useful as my experience will be different to other parts of the world. The pitching point/line doesn't necessarily sit at the top of a wall in the case of traditionally frame timber roof due to the 'birdmouth joint'. The roof build-up can be done as one object to represent framing and cladding layers or as separate layers like wall build-up. The following two ideas seem logical to me, but I have only worked in Australia and New Zealand.
1. Ability to have a roof overhang that can be set for all edges or different overhangs for each edge.
2. Roof thickness set at 90 degrees to the roof angle rather than the current global Z dimension
I have added the following drawings to help with my terminology, I hope :)
