Houska Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 HDPro (not sure about other versions) lets you specify a roof with precisely specified slope, overhangs, custom materials, etc. Importantly, it also lets you change the thickness of the roof rafter (or equivalent) structural member. Finally, you can add (potentially sloped) soffits specified with a custom material to represent growing substrate or vegetation on top of a green roof; you will probably want to create a custom seamless texture .jpg, say with repeating sedum plants, to visually represent it. HD does not provide as fine control over roof layers as it does for wall layers, so you will not be able to model the typical sandwich of layers on top of a green roof (framing, sheathing, water and root barriers, drainage control, substrate, vegetation) in an automated fashion. So you can represent a green roof dimensionally and visually accurately, but you get limited support to design, frame, and otherwise specify it in any detail.
