How do I create a gambrel roof?

Use Edit Item to select one of the roof edges that is to have the multiple pitches, and change its style from Hip to Double Hip. This will enable you to now modify the Pitch, Upper Pitch and the Style Distance. Style Distance is the run of the lower of the two segments of that roof edge. Once this information has been applied, select Edit > Repeat Edit and apply the same changes to the opposite parallel roof edge. Finally, use Edit Item to select the two perpendicular roof edges and change their style to Gable.
