roof problem...its a duzzie!

[Anonymous]

I am fixing someone elses bad design and wrong measurements and making the 3D model...but the roof is causing problems,
the roof is a curving sloping roof with 5 different roofs involved that all intersect, so when i make two roofs i can normally just make one the operator and the other the target and with a downward extrusion the excess from the two curving roofs will disappear....but not now, when i make the roofs i do this process once and the first operator will remove the lower excess, but when i make the other roof the operator the program freezes up and i have to end the program.....why WHY WWHHHYYYY does this happen and how do i stop it!!!! I need this roof really bad and it not working is like Kobe being found guilty...it would be devastating!!!!! HELP!!!!!!

the attachement is a rendering of the roof im working with(trying to remove the excess that shouldnt be there)

its extremely tough to see your roof in the image. can you turn on edges or something and post a new pic? Its hard to see all the different roofs you need to work with.

Steve,

Please don't forget to teach us all how to fish if you get it done..

Scott!!! You have deffected to using Archicad? I knew you'd see the light finally.... just wondering how you were going to help..

Wes will probably not send me the file. Proprietary no doubt. So i am safe from actually having to fix it.

Nahhh...just thought it looked like an interesting roof form, but I couldn't see it well. I was going to reproduce it in Revit to see how I would do it. Not that I was going to post a Revit solution here....I just tackle some of the "problems" from here in Revit, just to see how to do it for my own knowledge.

Ultimately, I knew if I didn't ask to get a better image, someone else would! 🙂
