scho047 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Hi all, I am now transferring drawings (that were done on archicad) onto VW to start it out and so far, it has been very smooth. However, that all came to a slight halt when trying to get my head around with the AEC create roof tool. What I need to do is to create an opening in the middle (as shown in the attached drawings) but all I can get VW to do is as per the second image. Can anyone suggest how I could possibly model this correctly? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
scho047 Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 Ok, since my initial message above, i have been trying out few things and with Roof Face tool, I have managed to get the shape/model (of an existing house) looking right as it is. Now, I have a question about how to make the walls to meet and become a gable end wall? Quote Link to comment

In addition to fitting the walls to the roof as you discovered, you can also change the roof edge shape to create the gable end walls: Changing the Roof Edge Shape : Vw2016 Help Quote Link to comment
