Siddharth Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 How can i apply landscape area (intensive green roof) on sloping roof (5 to 10 degree slope)? I created landscape area and its only flat surface i can not give slope or rotate in z-axis. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee bgoff Posted January 31, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 31, 2021 Create a site model on the roof using stakes to set the elevation. Set the Landscape area to that site model (should be on a different layer). Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 The landscape area is designed to work with site models, not roofs. If you're designing a roof and you wanted to make it a green roof, why not create a roof style that includes all the components required to make a green roof? 2 Quote Link to comment
Siddharth Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 Thanks for reply, @Jonathan Pickup The reason I'm creating green roof is to show plants (specifically in landscape area there is intensive and extensive green roof style). I can definitely create green roof with changing components of the slab of the roof. But i want plants on the roof. I tried going in front view and try rotating but it's not working.

Siddharth Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 @bgoff Thanks i tried and it's working. The only thing that bother me is it's not reliable method. Vw is keep crashing when i did this. I turn off the skirt of the site model Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee bgoff Posted February 2, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 2, 2021 Hmmm! I do this all the time! and I will even create terrain on the roof. I would wonder what it is on your machine that makes it crash. 1 Quote Link to comment
Siddharth Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 @bgoff thanks It's working perfectly. May be other processes that i was doing in my computer making it slow. But it's working fine now. Quote Link to comment
