nic Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 Hey everyone I know how to make a basic roof in VW Architect 9.5.1; but i wanted to do something a little mroe complicated and I cant seem to work it out. I want to create a house thats kind of A-frame. I know how to make the walls in an A-frame but I can't adjust the roof to my liking. A good example of what i'm after can be found here: roof sample If it cant be done using the "create roof..." tool...is there anything else you can suggest? -Any- help would be greatly appreciated! nic.

Mat Caird Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 here's what I would do (in VWA10) AEC|create roof from walls save your work go to top/plan view select the roof move the mouse toward one of the selction markers at the gable end - the pointer arrow changes to a hand left click choose "gable end" from the window exit save your work move the mouse arrow to the other end where you want the gable end do as above save your work I've found that it will crash more often than not, so save your work each time you do anythinG! There is also a "roof face" command, but u shouldn't need it to do as the picture in the link you posted. Quote Link to comment
nic Posted November 24, 2002 Author Share Posted November 24, 2002 Thank you very much! Is there any way I can get rid of the gable end altogether and just have the two sloping sides (as in the picture)? nic. Quote Link to comment
nic Posted November 24, 2002 Author Share Posted November 24, 2002 OK...I have ungrouped the roof and deleted the two vertical sides. It has the effect i'm looking for but do you know if it will it cause problems in the future? Last question I promise nic. Quote Link to comment
mike46 Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 Hi nic when you select the roof there is a check box"create gable end walls" in the obj info pallete which is checked by default just un check it and they are gone Mike Quote Link to comment
