trim elements to roof or shell

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 12:43:10 GMT

I have a a roof that has one slope extending down over a split level, so it's outside the trimming body. when i try to trim the wall it says it's trimmed, but the wall doesn't change. i cant use crop to single roof plane because it isn't one. so what do i do?

Have you tried using Solid Elements Operations instead of trim to roof?

You can sometimes get this issue if the wall is more than a single storey lower than the roof.

Also check your renovation filters, is the roof on a different filter setting than the wall, or is the wall grouped with other walls with a different filter setting? These shouldn't really make any difference but its worth checking.

If you clear any operations on the wall and re-try the SEO then that should do the trick

See the attached. In the Roof Settings dialog, you have a choice of how the trimming body is generated - pivot lines or roof contours (edges). You can see the difference in the screenshot - where with roof contours selected, your extended roof section will include a trimming body. I think that should solve your issue?
