Warped carport apron

KeesW — Tue, 28 Feb 2023 02:45:42 GMT

I need to add a warped carport apron to my 3D drawings. Apron and carport decking are 17mm plywood. Carport is flat and has to meet a sloping road. I've spent many hours trying to figure this out. I've tried to do it with the roof tool, the site tool and am wondering if the morph tool can do it. Help!

I've tried to attach a sketch but cannot reduce it enough to fit. description is:

Carport 6m wide and flat

Apron 6x1.2m rising 144mm on top right, dropping 155mm on top left

Road rises 299mm from left to right.

Hello @KeesW,

I think you should use the shell tool :

This tool makes it possible to obtain two line of references. Each reference line is placed on a strictly vertical plane. I often use it for a somewhat "crooked" ramp.

Did you tried this ?

Hello Christophe

I can't use the shell tool at the moment because my AC26 crashes everytime I select it. However, I have done it the long way with 90x22 floor decking, spaced 10mm . It was time consuming but worked really well.

Thank you for your suggestion.
