Covered porch with stairs


Recommended Posts

Hi all, I'm mainly an interior person, kitchens, bathrooms etc. A client asked me to design a covered porch with stairs on the side. I've never done this, but i'm looking to see if there are any video tutorials that would cover this topic. I did a search, didn't find anything. Maybe I'm not looking in the right location.

Thanks for any help.

Here's a small cottage with covered porch but the stairs are on the front.

The porch deck is a slab. The roof is a Roof Face. The columns were modeled. The railing is the Railing Tool. The stairs use the Stair Tool.

Did you find a tutorial?  I am trying to model a screen porch.  Wes I could not see your example.

In general you will not usually find tutorials that target the specific item you wish to draw/put together but rather concepts that cover a broad number of items.

Concepts or tools could be Roof and Roof Faces to create the roof for the porch, walls for screens and using doors and windows, slabs for the floor and the stair tool for the stairs.

You will want to think about how you want to present the porch and the information you want to convey.  Is it strictly going to be 2D or some 3D as well?

Here's a link to the cottage file that probably got deleted when we switched to the new Community Board.  It does not have a SCREEN porch but one could be modeled depending on how detailed you wished to get.  The screen itself could be an extruded rectangle to a thickness of dot oh, oh thin with a screen texture applied.  The frames could be modeled from extruded elements as well.

I created some screen using a texture and image mask.  You can probably get it to "read" a little better if you play with the mask and/or get a better image to start with...
