Mono trusses or rafters running low wall to high wall, taller posts on the high sidewall, a high-side eave strut, no ridge. eaveHeight stays the LOW eave; the right wall carries the high eave. Single-slope panels, high-side eave trim in place of a ridge cap, eave trim at the low eave, rake trim on both ends.
Also called: monopitch · shed roof · single slope · lean-to building
- 1wallSkinHeight() returns the high eave for the right wall and the named eave for every other wall, so the wall steel line groups by real run height.
- 2The end wall gable infill is a right triangle rising to the high wall rather than an apex triangle.
- 3Three coupled reality caps are resolved in one place so drags and steppers hit the same wall: mono pitch tops out at the trade's 4/12, and no combination of pitch, eave height and width may push the high wall past the maximum buildable eave.
- 4Past roughly 40ft of span a mono truss gets deep at the high end (depth is about span times pitch), which raises an engineered-territory warning before anyone draws a building nobody can order trusses for.
- 5Corner trim on the high-wall corners runs to the HIGH eave.
Dragging the high side of a single-slope roof produced buildings taller than anything anyone would put up, and the corner trim covering the wall joint stopped short of the top and ended in mid-wall. The high wall is capped at a buildable height and the trim runs the full height of the wall it covers, so what a customer is shown is a building they could actually be sold.
- Monoslope geometry that produces an unbuildable high wall.
- Wall steel counted at one height when one wall is much taller.
