dbeillot Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Hello, my request concerns the roof connection. I want to know if there is a tool allowing to connect two roofs together as shown in the attached file. Thank you and sorry for my broken English or even bad because I go through a translator ... I am a poor French Didier Quote Link to comment
markdd Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 The connect/combine tool will do this. Quote Link to comment
dbeillot Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 thank you markdd, where is this tool ?? Is this this one ?? Quote Link to comment
dbeillot Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 ok, apparently this tool works for roof sections but not for complete roofs !! Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Tamsin Slatter Posted November 13, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 13, 2020 It works on Roof Faces. You can ungroup a Roof and it will become a series of Roof Faces. Quote Link to comment
Tom W. Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 To do it without converting the Roofs to Roof Faces you can increase the eave overhang of the second roof to extend it into the main roof then in Top/Plan view create polygons of the two roof shapes + use these polygons to clip the two roofs one at a time along the line where they intersect (Clip Surface command). Jonathan Pickup has some good videos on this which explain it better. Quote Link to comment
dbeillot Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 Hello and thank you for your comments. your different proposals are working well. I think the ideal solution is to remove unnecessary bulk from the roof in order to keep all these components. Have a good day. Didier Quote Link to comment
