How to slant walls

Anonymous

Hi everyone.

Please can someone help me. I am working on my final hons degree project and j cannot seem to create the walls that I need for my building design.

I need walls that are vertical, but they need to slope downwards away from the centre of the building. I cannot seem to do this in custom profile as it reads the elevation of the 2 all as the thickness and I can't place doors or windows in to it.

I have tried using the magic wand but when I draw the elevation I wan't it draws 4 walls in it like a plan. I assume I can't morph it then pull the walls to the shape I want?

Please help me

  • - You need to draw a roof with the desired angle to be removed.
    - This roof will be placed in a Layer that you will eventually will turn off.
    - After drawing the roof you will select the walls, right click, select connect -> - Trim Elements to Roof or Shell.
    - Then turn the roof layer off.
