Inserting or replacing a roofscape in the plane model (‘Planes’ palette)

You can use the Planes palette to insert or replace roofscapes (roof frames and custom pairs of planes) in a plane model of the current building structure. The roofscapes you want to insert or replace must be saved in a drawing file. When you replace a roofscape, the reference to all drawing files using this roofscape does not change.
