Intersecting 2 roofs in AC15?

[Anonymous]

Hi,
In the attached image I am trying to intersect roof #2 which is a single plane roof with roof #1 which is multi plane (AC15 roof kind) by selecting roof #1 and (choosing roof tool) Command click edge of roof #2 and it does not intersect them. What has changed in AC15?
Thanks,
Joseph

How does this Extend the right roof to left at line of their intersection, pet palette helps if you know where they are going to intersect?
Thanks,
Joseph

I think Laszlo like me was thrown a bit by the angle of your 3D image.
It is actually 2 main buildings joined together by a corridor I think.
No gables or flat roofs involved.

The easiest solution would be to add an entirely new multi-plane roof over the entire structure.

If that is not an option then I would delete the single plane roofs and and another multi-plane roof here with hip ends.
Then stretch that across so it overlaps the main roof and then use the "connect" option to join them.

Or you could simply add two new nodes to the pitching line of the main roof on the left (so it is in 3 sections) and then stretch the middle section out over the corridor.
Then you can connect it to the roof on the other side.

Failing that then convert all roofs to single plane and trim them up as you would have in 14.

Actually it can be done simply with your single plane roof connected to the multi-plane roof.
Just stretch them so they over lap and then "Coonect" them.

If they look fine in 3D but not in 2D there is a setting in "Preferences" that you can adjust.
See my next post.

First stretch your single plane roofs and "connect" them to the multi-plane roof.

[Barry Kelly]

After the connection if it still looks the same in plan as it did befor then go into OPTIONS menu > PROJECT PREFERENCES > CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS.
Turn on the option for "True 3D projection".

[Barry Kelly]

Your roof will now look like this in plan.

I always forget about this option.

Oops. I forgot about that preference option.
This is why I suggested the one multi-plane roof approach.
But it seems like it is not necessary.

Thanks Barry I followed the method of Multi-Plane Hip Roof, looks good in 3D but in 2D the dash lines at intersection of roofs are missing and the setting in OPTIONS menu > PROJECT PREFERENCES > CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS.
Turn on the option for "True 3D projection". does not make any difference?
Thanks,

I am not sure why they don't show properly in plan then.
That preference option has no effect on multi-plane roofs - they automatically appear in 2D as they do in 3D (or they are supposed too!).

It only affects the single plane roofs - by default connections (SEO) to these do not show in plan - just as in version 14 and before.
But now we can make them appear in 2D as they do in 3D as well with this option.

Here is an image of 3 multi-plane roofs simply connected.
I did nothing else to them at all.

If you could tell me please if you used:
Single Plane Roof
or
Muli-Plane Hip roof
or
Multi-Plane Gable roof
for the roof located Between two larger roofs?
Thanks,

[Barry Kelly]

Multi-plane hip and I changed the ends to gable.
But multi-plane gable would work too.

The single roof planes also work so long as the preference is set for true 3D.
