Jbscalia Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I have a portion on the house i'm designing where a roof over the first floor has it's southern boundary limited by where the 2nd floor overlaps it. My problem with this, and I'm sure it's simple, is that VW2022 keeps saying it can't create the roof. What I've tried is to pick the other 3 walls on the first floor, then create roof, and additionally pick those same 3 walls as well as the wall bounding it on the southern edge from the 2nd floor. Neither seems to work, though, and I'm a bit lost trying to put the roof in. Can anyone suggest what I need to do? -- Jay Quote Link to comment
Tom W. Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 A Roof can be created from a Polygon - it doesn't have to be created from Walls. And then you can manually bind it to selected Walls afterwards. Quote Link to comment
Jbscalia Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Thanks, Tom. I used the polygon to draw the outline for the roof. I converted both the southern and northern edges to gables, but if I attempt to resize the length as it intrudes into the 2nd floor, it only drags the entire roof not resize it, which is not what I want.

Tom W. Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 You should definitely be able to resize the Roof using the Reshape Tool...? Quote Link to comment
Jbscalia Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 I must be dense or something. I can't seem to find a command beginning with the word Reshape. Quote Link to comment
Tom W. Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Not a command, a tool in the Basic Tool Set: You can do a lot with Roofs + the Reshape Tool so worth playing around with the different modes for example Add Vertex Quote Link to comment
Jbscalia Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 It took some effort, but I was finally able to get the roof properly placed with its correct size. Quote Link to comment
