I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to create a roof eave assembly where the fascia boards and rafter tails are automatically trimmed plumb to the roof pitch (not square to the board). See the attached image for what I am referring to.  Is this possible to create with profile builder? It would save a lot of time modeling exposed roof eaves on my projects.  Thank you

  Sorry, not sure how to do in PB3 but I occasionally use Artisan's knife tool to slice off ends of components etc to make plumb or angled etc. Could be a work around? Just need to line your view in Parallel Camera perpendicular to the face your cutting so it will cut square.

  It is not possible to do that in one shot.  You would need to use the PB Trim to face tool after creating the rafter tails.  I hope this helps.
