The Four-Point Freehand Roof (Wall Assist) tool is a quick way to create a simple rectangular roof panel that automatically connects to existing walls. This tool is very helpful for beginners because it reduces the need to draw each corner manually. For example, if you want to add a small roof over a porch or an extension, this tool can instantly attach the roof to the wall with the correct alignment.

To use the Four-Point Freehand Roof (Wall Assist) tool, go to the Roof tab in the main toolbar and select it. Then click on an existing wall and drag outward to create the roof panel with an overhang (the part of the roof that extends beyond the wall). The steepness of the roof is controlled by the Pitch setting in the Properties panel, where you can choose a preset value or enter your own. After placing the roof, you can adjust its elevation, modify soffit options, and apply different materials and colors in the 3D view to match your design.
