Can anybody tell me how to model this roof? (AC9?)

Colin,

See related thread just awhile ago. Hopefully will answer your question.

A complex profile assigned to a beam (then inclined) in the shape of the cross section would do the trick.

I'm not sure that is possible in version 9 is it?
I'm not sure I skipped that version.

There is a bit of a jump between version 9 and 12 (or now 13) but I think it would be worth it for the new features.

Hello Barry,
You are correct. Complex profiles came in with AC 10.
In AC 9 one would have to resort to GDL to model this kind of roof.
Tweaking a Profiler object or making an object from scratch.
There was always the mesh tool, tedious but doable.
How did we ever get along without complex profiles ? (we didn't)

Oops, you're right. Skimmed over that vital piece of information.

OBJECTiVE will easily take care of this, and it works in AC9 too. You can find more info and examples at the link Gerald provided.
