Eneroth Align Face has just become available on Extension Warehouse. This plugins lets you, as the name suggest, align faces to planes, e.g. from other faces.
Some use cases are:
Changing roof angle
Change roof overhang
Change dormer window size
Align roof sections
Move walls connecting to a sloped ceiling or non-orthogonal walls.

Enjoy!
With a few clicks a wall attached to a sloped roof can be moved.

I was using the tool to extend faces inside 1001-bit but yours is way better

That looks great! I’ll have to check it out. I just got through showing my students how use “Intersect” and a bunch of other steps to align the tops of walls to a sloping roof.
Eneroth Align Face has now been updated to preview faces in their correct color.
A cosmetic issue with previewing non-convex faces (seen the the GIF above) has also been fixed.
