Roof — shaped by hand

When the roof isn't a shape a generator can make.

Step 1

Draw the roof surface

Press Rectangle (or type rect) and place it where the roof belongs.

Step 3

Make it a roof

Change its building role to Roof in the right panel. Then let the rooms below stretch up to it with Fill to Neighbor.
You can reshape the roof anytime — the rooms follow automatically.

Don't see it in the panel? You're probably still holding a face or an edge from the last step. Press Esc once — that drops the part but keeps the roof selected.
