Thanks! The macro is just what I needed for my mutiple roofs (pffew, I was
afraid I had to give up my social life to create al my roofs. Maybe I
should try to learn POV-Ray the old fashioned way: first read the whole
tutorial and then start building my scene ......)

I am still stuck with my own complex roof building code (using a box and
subtracting four rotated boxes of the different sides). Do you (or anybody
else reading this message) know if there is a better way of building a
roof? (using prism's didn't work for me, because the sweeps are all
symetrical, and I need an a-symetrical roof).

Thanks again, Joost
