Try a mesh.

Pretty simple and straightforward.<BR /> <BR /> I also suggest that you do the free Interactive Training Guides so many of your such questions will be answered by them:<BR /> <BR /> <A href="http://www.graphisoft.com/education/training_guides/" target="_blank">http://www.graphisoft.com/education/training_guides/</A> Mon, 17 Jan 2011 12:54:54 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/how-to-make-this-kind-of-ROOF/m-p/160167#M86497 Laszlo Nagy 2011-01-17T12:54:54Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/how-to-make-this-kind-of-ROOF/m-p/160168#M86498 Do as laszlo suggested and after drawing the roof, make the walls a little bit high to cut the roof and use roof trim tool to chop the upper parts of the walls to get a clean picture no.2 of yours.
