Edges Panel

The Edges panel is for classifying edges — assigning each edge a type (eave, ridge, hip, valley, and so on).

Edge types

Each button activates a type. Then click edges on the canvas to apply.

Button	Type	Shortcut	Color
Eaves	eaves	E	green
Valleys	valleys	V	red-orange
Hips	hips	H	purple
Ridges	ridges	G	dark green
Rakes	rakes	R	yellow
High Eave	high_eave	A	teal
Parapet	parapet	P	orange (dashed)
Transition	transition	T	magenta
Wall flashing	wallFlashing	W	blue (dashed)
Step flashing	stepFlashing	S	brown (dashed)
Other	other	O	gray (dashed)
Unspecified	unspecified	U	cyan

See: Edge types for when to use each.

Actions

Reset all edges

Sets every edge on the current layer to unspecified. A confirmation dialog appears.

Use when you want to reclassify from scratch without rebuilding geometry.

How classification works

1. Pick a type in the panel (it becomes the active type).
2. Click edges on the canvas — each clicked edge becomes that type.
3. Switch the active type to label other edges with different types.

Active type stays selected between clicks — efficient for bulk classification.

Tips

• Classify after finishing geometry, not during drawing.
• Start with eaves (easiest to identify at the bottom of roof planes).
• Then ridges (highest horizontal lines).
• Then hips and valleys (diagonal interior edges).
• Use the listed shortcuts to switch types quickly.
