ray isaacs Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 how can i change the default hip roof on the massing model to a gable roof? i have looked far and wide (this forum, youtube, vectorworks help) but nothing is clear regarding on this topic. a good reference would be a big time saver. cheers, ray Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I think it can be modified just like a regular roof object [see Step 3]. Vectorworks 2015 Help :: Creating a Custom Massing Model Roof Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 You can edit the roof to make it a gable, or even a mono-pitch roof. i have made a podcast on this for my subscribers: http://learn.archoncad.com/2013/06/13598/epodcast178-editing-the-roof-on-a-massing-model/ (for subscribers only) Quote Link to comment
ray isaacs Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 thanks for the feedback. i've seen the various help pages/videos. but it seems to make a difference whether i select a shape and convert it under the landscape menu, or draw it directly with the massing model tool. in any event, i've switched back to my old method of extrudes and symbols: faster and more flexible. cheers, ray Quote Link to comment
