MaltbyDesign Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I'm playing around with different ways of quick modelling and was experimenting with the Shell Solid tool to hollow out an object that represents the walls of a building. After adding a roof, I discovered that you can't use the Fit Walls to Objects command to get the solid to adjust to the underside of the roof. Is there a quick way to convert the shelled solid to walls? Or is there a way to get the shelled solid to follow the contours of the underside of the roof? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Guest Wes Gardner Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 @MaltbyDesign, a quick way might be to use the Extract Surface command to get a surface from the underside of the roof, then Extrude that. Now you have two solids whereupon you can use Subtract Solids keeping the original shelled object. I believe the "Fit Walls..." command ONLY works when clipping walls, however you CAN use objects like extrudes to do the clipping Quote Link to comment
MaltbyDesign Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 Thanks Wes. I think I discovered that it might be an easier path to create walls from a regular solid once I've created the massing by using the space planning tools. Quote Link to comment
