cwailes Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Hello everyone. How would you all model this roof? The larger portion of the upper roof is 2:12 and slopes according to the arrows. The two circled areas are 2:12 and do slope at that same angle as the main portion but need to be flared up also with the slope direction of the arrows on their faces. So I literally have a roof face that is angled/sloped in two directions with a valley between the two. I cannot for the life of me figure out the way to do this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

cwailes Posted March 16, 2023 Author Share Posted March 16, 2023 Actually the two circled areas should be Valley's not Hips. Quote Link to comment
Kevin K Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Did you dream this roof system up in your sleep? 🙂 not sure it really works the way you have it shown. Probably best to post your file to sort it out, as there are other items shown that have no notations or explanations relating to the additional other shapes drawn. Be sure to note the version of the file. Quote Link to comment
cwailes Posted March 16, 2023 Author Share Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) Kevin, This is from a client. They the front of the roof to flare up and a very small portion of the back of the roof to flare up. I thought about using a slab object with the slab drainage tool to possibly create it.

rDesign Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) I would make it using Roof faces, it shouldn’t be that complicated. Draw all of the separate roofs as individual 2D Polygons and convert them individually to Roof Faces. Edited March 16, 2023 by rDesign 3 Quote Link to comment
Kevin K Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 @ccwrDesign is correct. That is a good way to approach it. You may find you need to mess with it a bit during the process, but it is doable.:-) Quote Link to comment
