ROOF CONNECTION

[dbeillot]

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

The connect/combine tool will do this.

ok, apparently this tool works for roof sections but not for complete roofs !!

It works on Roof Faces. You can ungroup a Roof and it will become a series of Roof Faces.

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.

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.
