Hi all,

Appreciate your help!

Use a single plane roof for the slope part, and a wall for the vertical part

There is no automatic way to do this.

Each roof will be a separate roof (probably best as a single plane roof).

Model one section and then multiply.

This could be a good task for the Profile-Manager - one new profile for all its details inkl. the walls between - as wall- or beam-profile. Just copy the sectionview from your drawing above into the profile-manager and try it.

I think the best way to do this is to create that roof and save it as a module, then hotlink that module to the host file and copy it as many times as you need it.

That way, when you need to change one of the roofs, all roofs will be changed.

Hi Barry, 

 

thanks. I worked with the single plane roof. But I am only able to create the sloped roofs. I can't get the parts that run vertically right

Thanks! I'll try this. 

I am having trouble to even create just one of that roof. I used the single plane roof, but not able to create the vertical part
