hey, i am making a building from blueprints and i don't really know how to create a flat roof... If anyone could help me, that would be awesome.
thanks, sjones

There would be lots of ways to model a flat roof.

Just a couple of ideas...

How about a roof with 0 pitch, or a slab

Do you need to model the slight slopes that will be required for Roof drainage? Then maybe a mesh.

Does the roof have a constant profile? then try a creating a custom profile.

I'm sure there are many more approaches you could explore depending on your needs.

Good luck

You may want to build a composite with the layers (materials) that you need. That composite could be used with both the slab and roof tools as long as you check those boxes.
