Modelling a curved roof

[Anonymous]

Hello out there-

I'm trying to figure out how to model this curved roof. I'm a new user and just modelled each rafter to get a sense of it first. The plate height is consistent at the bottom wall but each rafter has a different pitch. Any tips?

THANKS!

Ryan,
I think I am starting to sound like a stuck record
but I would suggest the mesh tool.
From your image, you seem to know how to use the mesh tool.
Post back if you need more detail.

Just out of curiosity, how do you dimension a roof like that?

Don't know yet Tom. I'll give them a constant plate height at the base, a constant plate height at an intermediate wall that snakes through the inside of the building, and a bottle of Jack.

Sorry if I missed your previous posts about meshes Peter. I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

Just to make sure I modeled this type of roof
using the mesh tool. Once I figured out how
to get the elevations of the edge nodes graphically
it was relatively easy.
