Cheers Digby, I guess you could do that. Sure, a little extra work in re-creating soffits but it is certainly quicker that modelling from start.
I wouldn't think it is out of the question though, I think it would add quite a scope of tasks to the script....
Maybe also a gutter!!!
As for the vegemite-coated Roos; more of the beer-battered kind over here.....

The proto-Roof.rb HAD a sloping soffit type... BUT I removed it because the maths hurt my head... There were also add-gutter, add-verge etc... but again I didn't have time to implement them...
As was said, it's pretty easy for you to make the roof higher up that you want with a flat soffit then move it down to suit, THEN edit the roof group and select the inner rim of the soffit and move that up, with auto-fold the soffit will crease and become raking as you want.
To add a gutter etc you just need to draw the vertical cross-section of the desired gutter against a corner of the fascia, and then select the edges of the roof you want to have the gutter, then pick follow-me and then the cross-section's face and you'll have the gutter you want...
If you use particular gutter sections you could save a suitably shaped vertical face as a component, then when needed you simply insert it where you want, explode it and use its face for the follow-me as above...
