To do a rafter, spanning from one wall to another do you suggest a. set up roof/slab parameters and manually draw to desired width (say 50mm), or b. setup up roof/slab parametres, draw a polygon line – process slab off polygon line. the same for columns, walls, roof slabs etc Either method is fine but drawing…
DetailsHow do you do vaulted roofs? To make a vault: 1) draw an arc with the desired measurements (in your case, 10 m) and number of vertixes (double click the arc icon to recall the “Polygon Characteristics” dialog box – more vertixes will make it smoother). Activating the Snap to Grid might help when drawing. 2)…
DetailsHow do you draw a double pitched roof, one side of which overshoots the ridge, thus forming a cornice?
All you do is create two different pitches, starting from the desired height of gutter line. Where they overlap, close them off with a wall, using the Adjust Garret Walls and Adjust Walls on Roof commands.
I’ve drawn a floor plan using two layers. Layer 1 for the foundation and Layer 2 for the main floor. How do I put a roof on? I tried the slab/roof icon and select the corners of the wall on layer 2, no result. I’ve tried on layer 3 same thing. Is the roof to be…
How do you construct a roof slab, at say a 25 degree pitch, that is supported/buts up to a curved wall? (Sort of like a garret wall except in the opposite plane). I have thought of ways to do this, such as construct a rectangular slab and then cut it using the scissors tool and remove…
I have created a single pitched roof for a rectangular 3-level building, but cannot find the right method for connecting the walls to the roof. To make the walls match exactly the bottom part of the roof you must select all the walls and the roof and execute the command Adjust Walls on Roof from the…
The vaulted roof method turns the slab into an object – How can you edit it, in terms of creating a garret wall to close off a gable end, and then insert a door or window into that garret wall.? The easiest way to do this is to use the same polygon you used to generate…
How do I create a Garret wall that is void below the lower roof and solid above the roof line?
Select the wall and the roof and execute the command Adjust Walls on Roof from the Process menu.
