Roof-problem!

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 13:01:34 GMT

Hello!

I´m a beginner of using Archicad and have some problem to trim my roof. Accodring to the picture I´m not able to trim the ridge as you can see or do I have to create the roof different. In this case i created two separate parts of the roof. I thought it would be possible to do it in one step but didn´t succeed.

Best regards

Henrik

In plan, pull each roof back a bit from center line and then select one and
then while holding down the ctr(pc) (mac opt?) key, put the small mercedes curser over what would be the "high edge" of the other half and click, it will move the high end to the center, then reverse the process.
They should then join perfectly.
If you try to do this manually, it's hard to get it exactly right and you will
most likely have gaps or overlaps.
For more complex questions you should make a profile with machine and software you are using.

You can trim roofs in the 3D window, same steps as lec outlines.

On the Mac, it is Command-click.

Correct, but you don't even have to pull the roof edges back the other side of the ridge. You can trim them where they are. Select one roof, trim the other (CTRL-click edge on PC, Command-click Mac). Then repeat with 2nd roof selected, trimming the first.
