Tips for creating a roof
Does anybody have any tip for creating roofs on houses. The roof that I am creating has multiple pitches and it creates more or less an L-shape. I would load up a picture unfortunatly the only format that I have at the moment is paper floor plans. Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks Adam |

Re: Tips for creating a roof
Depending on how difficult the roof is, if you have two elevations of the roof you can trace the two elevations on each axis, and extrude the two shapes so that they overlap each other completly. Then just do an intersection boolean operation of the two shapes. This can get you a start to visualizing the roof and the form of it. Although you mentioned its an L..... which would require intersecting a third shape of the plan of the roof......
if you've modeled alot this might make sense if not I might have lost ya Last edited by BrianKitts; June 22nd, 2005 at 09:46 AM. |

Re: Tips for creating a roof
suppose it depends how well you know your software. i draw all manner of complicated pitched 3d roofs all in autocad by normal 3d drawing methods. i can expand on that if you wish.

Re: Tips for creating a roof
I've just remembered this by Ted Boardman:
"...Actually, there was a roof lession with dormer in the VIZ 3 book. Specifically where the dormer had to be cut into the roof. Make sure you look at the latest column at http://www.cgarchitect.com for a method of slicing dormers on the roof plane, too. Most of my roofs are extruded or I use Bevel Profile for hips and complex tower roofs, etc."
