How to GDL code complex roofs?

Hi!

I was wondering, what would be the best way to GDL code these roofs, preferably so they become one solid thing as shown in the image?

The elements circled with red has been coded with the FPRISM_ command, the other ones are made with the ordinary roof ool, but I would like to do it with GDL code. Any ideas on how?

Thank you!

 

Operating system used: Windows 11

Not really sure what the benefit of using GDL for this is, but CTRL+F "roof" in the Reference Manual gives you plentyful of content.

Never used it myself tho. 😄

Hi!

It's part of a bigger object for creating placeholder buildings with stats. I saw there was a POLYROOF command but it seemed excessively complicated for what I needed so I was hoping there would be something in between FPRISM and POLYROOF.
