Roof edge with profile

Each time I do this I have to re-remember how to reset the profiles in the Project Browser so that each one works uniquely.  This one  

Starting with :
  •     Pick any existing profile that is suitable and pick>edit to bring up the profile in family editor. First save-as,  in this case "new eaves". (project browser>family>profiles>pick a suitable type >EDIT - once saved creates new type)
  •     Edit the profile with whatever instance params are needed - in this case a roof pitch angle which can then be = a roof pitch reporting param in the project 
  •      Save and load into the project
  •      The ROOF > FASCIA > pick a fascia style and duplicate renaming unique
  •     in EDIT TYPE > PROFILE pick the new profile saved and loaded
  •     Then just pick the roof edge
  •     Once attached just pick and set the angle param = reporting roof pitch 

Edit an existing profile (project browser>familes>profiles)
Edit the new profile - inset is the centre line intersection


In Type Props>edit type set the profile to the new saved type
Pick the roof edge to attach - set the angle param to align
