Pitched roof drawing

No, it’s easier to demonstrate using your actual file.

  1. Make a duplicate of your roof section

  2. Move and align duplicate as shown here (use the Two-Point Rotate/Scale tool):

  3. Convert the cutout to a path.

  4. Using the node edit tool break the rectangle at this corner then extend one side as shown

  5. Duplicate then move as shown:

  6. Delete the duplicated roof section as you don’t need this any more.

  7. Trim the line you extended before.

  8. Close the path that represents the tab, ungroup your main profile then weld the tab to the main profile. (When I did this it wasn’t quite perfect).

  9. In this case you can just delete the offending node to give this:

  10. Repeat for the others.

Someone might have a better way but that’s what I came up with. Hope it helps.
