hi guys,
i still don't have the v2013, so i can't judge if this:
roof components wish
has already been implemented.
if not, i'd like to know how do you usually proceed with the pitched roof modelling? i know now that the inserting of the skylights with their holes in the roof object is possible and this still leaves the roof with its full functionality. but other questions remain:
1. do you set the framing members to the top or bottom of the roof volume? how about the walls fitting to the roof/framing members then?
2. do you model the extra roof faces for the roof components (for the sake of take offs), or do you insert the component thickness in the course of the 2d workout in the section views?
3. if you model the additional faces, do you do it on top, on the bottom or on both sides of the roof plane (e.g. for additional insulation in colder climates)?
4. if you model the additional faces, how do you cut out the holes in order to maintain the cutting direction: subtract solids, trying to fit the original holes in the main roof?
thankful in advance for any hint to think over.
