Follow that roofline: cover the gap to a pitched fascia
Draw sheeting away from a wall, choose the pitched fascia in 3D, and add an angled upper return that covers the gap. A narrated walkthrough with an example one-metre wall clearance.
Before you start: Open a practice drawing with a roof and an enabled fascia. Draw a sheet parallel to the fascia you want to reach.

0:00Keep the gap. Cover the top.
Need to cover the gap beside a pitched roof? In Asbesto Plan, your sheet can stay away from the wall, while its upper section reaches back to the fascia.
0:10Draw beside the wall.
Start in two D. Choose Enclosure, then Sheeting, and draw a run parallel to the wall. This example leaves one metre between the sheet and the outside wall face.
0:21Set the run and height.
In Selected, set the run length and height for your drawing. Here, the sheet is one point six metres long, with a low end height of two point two metres.
0:32Choose the pitched fascia.
Choose Pick fascia in three D. Select the pitched edge beside your sheet, from the highlighted model or the target list. The amber outline previews the shape before you apply it.
0:43Apply the upper return.
Confirm the attachment. The vertical face stays in place. Its top follows the pitch, and the angled return covers the gap back to the fascia.
0:54See how the cover fits.
Orbit around the model to see both parts: the upright sheet and its overhead cover. This example shows one run; add the remaining sides to represent your complete enclosure. Explore more editor walkthroughs in the Asbesto Plan tutorial library.
