Complex Roof - Different Slope Angles

[cwailes]

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.

Actually the two circled areas should be Valley's not Hips.

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.

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.

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.

@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.:-)

Hey Kevin, try calling me again. I was on the phone.

[cwailes]

Thank you Kevin for giving me a call and all of your help. This definitely helped a lot.

I live to serve........sort of. 🙂

Yeah, I think I got you to where you wanted to be regarding those pesky 'flared' roofs.

Oh, I did upload the file in our messages chat, btw. Have a look.
