Need help with Barrel-Vaulted Roofs

[Anonymous]

Got a slight problem with the barrel-vaulted roof tool. I'm trying to make a curved bit of glass, using the barrel-vaulted roof tool. But when I draw the roof in 3D, all I get is two pieces that isn't curved at all. Anyone who knows what I'm doing wrong?

The measurements of the piece is:

Length (x) : 750 mm
Width (y) : 600 mm
elevation (z): 125 mm

atab,

did you want a barrel vault? That roof is not barrel shaped.

Would you like to know how to make a barrel vault with the profiler?

I've tried using the barrel vaulted roof-tool, but all I get as result is the image you see below. I would appreciate if you could show me how it's done in profiler.

I would say you need to check the magic wand settings again

[Djordje]

Set the magic wand to 36 arc segments. That means that any arc (barrel vault cross section) will be approximated with 36 straight segments.

Now do your barrel again.

For the Profiler, use the same arc as a starting point to draw a fill of the cross section of the barrel roof. Then extrude it along a drawn path, or click on the start and end point.

Both should work ... with the second, you have to SEO anything sticking through, and will not have the special roof plan display options.
