John Windswept Design Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Hi All, I'm doing a entry roof, a gable that has a side curved, steep at first then arching to 3:12 pitch. I can do the curve with nurbs then taper extrude the curve. But I want the roof to have a thickness. I can't seem to create a thickness but I've seen other do it. Can anybody Help!!

propstuff Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 If you have a NURBS surface of the roof, try the Shell Tool on it. You can select which side of the surface you want the thickness to be. [ 02-25-2006, 03:36 PM: Message edited by: propstuff ] Quote Link to comment
John Windswept Design Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 Hi, I can't find the shell command. I have version 11.5 Quote Link to comment
propstuff Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Hi John, Shell Solids is one of the 3D tools -not commands, and looks like a hollowed out box. It coiuld be hiding under one of the other 3D tools You should be able to find it in the manual if you can't see it. cheers, N.
