How to make a Curved Roof


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Every time i try to use the roof tool with this shape it comes that the roof is too complex to be generated, i've tried doing this by converting the curves into straight lines but makes the roof top look funny and not having the same height, in practice this should be easier to build as it uses the same size joists in a circumference isn't the roof tool able to deal with this ? 

 

does anyone have a better idea on how to build this shape into a roof ?

Looks like you are attempting to create a segmented roof(?). If so, it’s probably best to use Roof Faces. I would do the math first and also suss out how the thing will be built. Then create one segment (pie slice, or triangle) and carefully duplicate it to make the others. Usually I would then Group all the segments for a little more ease of handling.

Yes, when in doubt work out how to build it then copy that.
