Kevin K Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Actually.....you could also save a step by simply using the nurbs curve tool and snapping to the the existing 3d polys to create an angled plane, THEN doing the surface from curves, then using shell. Maybe a tiny time saver. Quote Link to comment
line-weight Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 But these methods wouldn't work for hipped roofs or any of the various more complex forms in the example document. And it wouldn't give you the body of the house. Quote Link to comment
Kevin K Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 No....nothing to do with the body of the house. That is another aspect altogether. Just some extrusions, I would imagine. I was just showing an example for the gable roofs implied from the dwg file. Quote Link to comment
line-weight Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 The point is that if you have what's effectively the wireframe of the solid you want ... it's frustrating that there isn't a one-click command to do just that. If you could, then it would just be a matter of doing that, then extruding the bottom horizontal face of that solid to the ground. I often come up against something like this when importing a supposed 'BIM' model of some product or the other, that comes through as a kind of mesh, or other mess of polygons. And it looks like it ought to be possible just to tell VW to change it into a solid object that would then be easy to modify, section and so on. But it seems it's not. 2 Quote Link to comment
