Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted March 13, 2018 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 13, 2018 Hi Shiyu, are we looking at a section here? When you say "in a closed room" do you mean this is a ceiling feature? Quote Link to comment

Yeah, this is a section view. make an example, If I create a square room, when I create the roof with these walls, the roof is integrated square shape, but what I want to do is get several septated roofs based on those walls. Can vectorworks make it? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted March 13, 2018 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 13, 2018 Shiyu, I had to look up "septated". Are you looking for something like this? This wall line is achieved using "Fit Walls to Objects" command. Quote Link to comment

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted March 13, 2018 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 13, 2018 Draw the walls. Draw and position the roof objects. (I used four roof objects, but you could use an extruded zigzag or whatever). Select the roofs and choose "Fit Walls to Objects" from the AEC menu. Quote Link to comment

Jonathan Pickup Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 draw the rectangle for one roof, select it and use the Create Roof... command. Vectorworks will use the rectangle to create the roof. Repeat to get all the required roofs. Quote Link to comment
