Compound Butterfly Roof?


Recommended Posts

Anyone have bright ideas on how to create a roof like below using roof face objects? I did this with extrudes that were rotated on two axes. Roof face allows one to set a pitch, but I couldn't find a way to rotate it on the perpendicular axis as well, would be a nice feature to have a "rotation" parameter for this, IM(H)O.

@cberg thanks for this, but none of the roof face suggestions in that thread work. I need something rotated about two axes since the roof face I want is pitched, but it also rises from a pitched roof face. My "fit to object" walls also keep disappearing at random! VW tech support time!

You'd have to post the geometry.  But as long as the roof is planar it can be built with roof faces.  If it is non-planar, then it can't be a roof face.

 

It's hard to tell from your screenshot, but it looks there are three planar roof components.
