Define a dormer

Description

A dormer can be defined for already scaffolded facades. The dormer is placed on an angulared roof area, then the dormer is connected to the existing scaffmax wall. For defining the dormer, always a triangular dormer is used as a placeholder, because the shape is not relevant in this step.

Note

The link between the wall and the dormer can be deleted.
Right-Click on a free area of the scaffolded wall and select delete wall/dormer definition from the context menu. Scaffold the wall again and the dormer will not be included.
