Select the Extend Face By Rectangle button Eaves

The first thing you need to do is to hover the mouse over a roof section that you would like to extend the face of and select it using the left mouse button.
When you have a roof section selected you can draw a polyline anywhere but one side of it must be touching the selected roof section.
Once you have drawn a polyline that is touching the selected roof section the roof will be extended into the area of the polyline.
