Would it be too much to ask what three profiles?
I'd really appreciate it...

One profile used three times. It's the one for the main supports.

Hello KMORGAN and John, I have uploaded the updated study of it.
WARNING the first upload of today is NO GOOD ( Test22.dwg )
The second one is OK ( Test1PJH2.dwg ).

Hello kmorgan, I'm glad that you have succeded in doing your roof.
If you are new to 3D the important is to manage the viewpoints and the use of all the options of the UCS command.
The UCS settings will be an obligation for you to do some dimensionning in the 3D space.
In any case keep an example of each your 3D steps, it will allow you easy modifications or steps backward.
If you keep steps at an exact distance and in ortho mode ( F8 ) it will be a lot easier.
As for more about 3D and take a look at the bottom of my file with :
1-basic solids with parameters ( CTRL+1)
2-solids creation etc...
7-UCS settings for dimensions

Depending on the type of drawing being done dimensions can be placed in either model space or in a layout.

Yes John but with 3D it's another thing.

Yes, it is, since most newbies to 3D think they can dimension a 3D model as they would a 2D view.

I couldn't make those UCS settings work for me. I'm really not sure what the problem is? Most likely, User error. I only saw a prompt for UCSSELECTMODE = 1 or 0?
