Mecacarl Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Is there a trick to creating a roof in VW 12.5 after trying to do so, and an alert pops up saying "Could not create roof. house drawing is too complex to compute roof" Please tell me there is another way and that the structure does not need to be redesigned or modifided. Thanks Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 you could try using the 2D reshape tool and editing out the vertices that causing the trouble. Also, my Architect Tutorial manual has all the roof tricks that I know. Quote Link to comment
Daryl Wood Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 The roof tools in VW will work to create complex roofs with a great deal of time lost and hoop jumping. I have had success developing roofs in VW, some very complex, but have found the tool too cumbersome for the productivity investment. I develop roofs in Sketchup and import them into VW. Designing a roof in Sketchup vs. VW is silly simple once you understand inferences in Sketchup. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted January 30, 2008 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 30, 2008 Mecacari, please submit your "too complex" geometry to bugsubmit@nemetschek.net -- this way we can fix the conditions that are causing the roofer to fail. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
