How can I design this roof ?

[Anonymous]

I am a new user of ArchiCAD 9 and I want to design a roof similar to the one that appears as a logo everytime I start ArchiCAD.
I have tried the roof tool but I find it difficult to join the edges, especially when I try to connect single roofs that are not on the same height.
I would be greatfull for any help, thanks...!

this is the "Roof"" I get. What does yours look like?

[Anonymous]

Yes, that is the roof I am talking about..
Can you make any suggestion ?

[Dwight]

okay. what part is the roof?

mark it up for me.

[Dwight]

To make a roof like that, you need the "Wacky Techno Tower" Add-On. Only the Germans have that now.

I am reffering to as "roof" to the part of the building marked up with the red rectangular, consisted of square parts with gaps within them.
It could actually be a facade of a building but imagine looking from a
"bird's eye view" can look like a roof.

Do you just want holes in the roof?

[Dwight]

probably.

best to work in 3D for this....

Creating holes is easy. Joining different parts together while not being on the same height and rotating them in order one to touch another is quite complicated.
Anyway I 'll try a different way of making sth like this using the wall tool.

1: have you had training?
2: Are you working in the 3D window?
