Moving down node points in roof element ?

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 12:48:14 GMT

OK i promise this is my very last question for the week.
Please see photo attached.
I want to model this roof, see real photo on right side.
i have made three parts of this roof and it starting to get close.
But i need to drop down the front edges of the roof panels, so it matches the photo ?
and ideas ? i cant manage to find any way to pick node points in roof element and drop down the elevation ?..... i do think im thinking revit at the moment but this function must be possible.

Also when im chatting about this roof element.
I have used SOE (solid object editing) to cut the 3 pieces of the roof over the window, but im still getting a weird split between the pieces.
any idea why ?
Ok thats question 2!

Thanks guys and have a great weekend.
Ian

It looks like you need to start by building the triangular dormer first (no side walls) and then clip the peak.

Downolad an example (.pln AC14) for this type of dormer:

See also page 831 in ArchiCAD 14 Reference Guide.pdf to learn how to intersect and join roof planes.

i did put i still want to know.
In archicad, if i want to drop one point of a 3 sides slab or roof element, how do i drop the elevation of a point.
This is so easy with every 3d modelling software.

So how does it work here in Archicad.
such a simple action cant be hard to do ????

Thanks.

This was made with AC14!!
Pick the node and the toolbar will pop-up.
