dontevenjoke Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 What is the best way to make a neat job of the tops of tilt up panels that are on perpendicular walls. I find the wall junctions are messy and don't handle meeting the next wall and fitting to the roof very well. Is there a way to set the tops of the walls to the angle of the roof? Or a way to embed them into the roof face so they have a neater look in 3D? Any feedback is appreciated... Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 A. Model the panels as they will be in real life. Individual sections of wall with butt joints (ie. do not use the wall join tool). B. Use the Fit Walls to Roof command. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted April 19, 2007 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 19, 2007 Either use the Butt Join mode of the wall join tool to get the results at left, or use the 3D reshape tool in the "add" mode to add a "peak" at the inside corner of the sloping wall to level out the corner. A little practice with these tools will get you the detail condition you are seeking. Quote Link to comment
