Shed roof in 2 directions?

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 12:28:02 GMT

Not sure what to call it, but trying to do a roof that has a hip and ends at a wall, see picture. I have achieved the look on the outside by doing a larger roof that extends into the house, but now there is a roof in the kitchen. I tried doing to small shed roofs, but could not get them to properly join / trim. Tried solid element operator, Connect (trim elements to roof shell) - nothing makes them trim properly. What is the best way to do this? Would even be better if it could be part of the main roof, so it doesn't have seam / line between roofs.

Thanks

Model your larger roof if that works and then select it and use the pet palette to subtract the area you don't want rather than SEO.
Make sure you activate the pet palate on the perimeter of the roof and not the pivot line.
If you choose the pivot line you will completely change the geometry of the roof.

Otherwise model just the part you want with single roof planes.
Sometimes single roof planes are easier to work with than the multi-plane roof.

And remember you can always model a multi-plane roof and then split it into single roof planes.

Barry,

Thanks for the reply. I was able to subtract out the parts not wanted - the key was getting the correct pallet as you described. And good to know about the ability to change to single roof planes. I even re-tried the single roof planes and trimmed per your description. I was previously editing in 3d, and found it worked better in plan.

Thanks!
