# Add Custom Eaves

The eaves of a roof are the horizontal, projecting edges of a roof that overhang the exterior walls of a building. Eaves can be set as typical projections when specifying a roof. Alternatively, where custom eaves are required, eaves are also drawn on aspects.

## Add Custom Eaves

To add custom eaves, we first need to have drawn a Roof. Next, select 'Levels' on the left side and locate any Level with a Roof. Now, left-click any roof zone aspect in the drawing space. This will then allow custom eaves to be added. Next, under Eaves, select the desired 'Projection' of the eave in meters.
