How do I create roofs with a size of building-size of 3 fields?!

Hi there,
maybe a stupid question but Im falling all the time over it. For roof-creation I have several pieces to chose. Inner corners, outer corners, normal pieces.....

Its matching perfectly when the building has a width of 2, 4, 6 fields. Its not matching when there are 3 fields size, see screenshot:



Question for the builiders: How to do it pretty? Is it even possible? Whats the way to create this?!

Cheers,
kweb

You have several options to cover the hole when your building's dimensions do match what the roof pieces expect:

1. Add a tower, turret, chimney, or some such that covers either the entire hole, or just enough of it to make the roof parts fit the remainder.

2. Cover the hole with flat tiles and then build a room, a widow's walk, or some such on the flat area.

3. Leave the hole open and use it as a skylight over an atrium.

4. Build custom roof sections out of scads of small parts to cover the hole. This of course takes time, lots of parts, and then usually forces you to pave over the rest of the roof with even more of the same small parts so the whole roof looks the same.

Build the top on your existing grid, off to the side. This keeps it squared to your building.
CTRL+Click select the 4 roof parts and remove from building. Now you can easily use the arrows of advanced move
to get it into place.
