I made this model in 3DS, I hope you'll understand what I want to



I know how to make a slanted wall but I need shorter top than bottom

First you build an slanted wall. Then you cut your ends of wall with roofs.

1. Draw slanted wall
2. Draw roofs at ends of wall that are perpendicular too wall
3. Cut slanted wall with roof (Trim to roof or with SEO)

Yes, 4 different angles.

I couldn't make it with the roof tools but it seems like SEO is the right way... I'll have to read the tutorials about it (it looks too easy but i don't want to risk )

I tried to make two slanted walls and cut one of them but it can't stand alone after removing other one... Try it - you'll understand me...

If you have any other idea please let me know

If you mean you used SEO then deleted the operator, you can't do that. You must leave the operator (the element doing the subtracting) but put it on a layer that does not display. Does this make sense?

i seem to recall seeing an 'Angled Wall End' object kicking around at some point. it's not in the standard library and i can't remember where i saw it. but if you do your double slanted wall, and then apply the slanted wall end to each end of your wall it could work . . . ?

sorry i can't be more help . . .
