vassen Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Hello everyone, has anyone in the grope create slope/incline wall? I wanted to create mansard roof by using incline wall don't know if its gonna work out. Mansade roof is easily been created using Extrude along path as shown in the attachement. In the Mansarde i have to do Dormers so i think the Extrude along path will not work as i am no able to cut in the roof. Thats why i wanted to try with Slope/incline wall to see if it possible to create this roof Thanks for your help. Edited January 10, 2020 by vassen Quote Link to comment

What you could try is to create the rectangles representing the bottom and top of the vertically sloped part of the roof, do a loft and then a shell solid to create the hollow space. Then you get a solid in which you can cut openings and also have the open space inside. The same could be done for the cover part of the roof if needed (as I don't have VW Architect I don't know what the roof options are in there). Quote Link to comment

0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Tamsin Slatter Posted January 13, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 13, 2020 Glad you have found a solution. Just a thought for you - perhaps you could have used Roof Faces instead of a full roof to create the various elements of the Mansard. Then, with 3D symbols for the windows, you can insert them into the Roof Face and create the dormers. 1 Quote Link to comment
