Rafters with Decorative ends

[Anonymous]

Anyone have a good process in drawing a "gazebo" roof framing for lack of better words? The plan shows a pyramid roof at 10:12 on all sides, 9' square. The model will show the open rafter ceiling, with decorative ends to the rafters.

It seemed simple in theory but it's becoming more difficult to do, or figure out rather.

I thought to make a custom profile and extrude the thickness of the rafter, but I cannot modify that profile to stretch it for the corners that are deeper and take....I will just post a photo of what I am doing.

What's missing in the photo is the decorative rafters.

Thanks!

and on you Mr. Larrew for taking a vacation!

BTW.. you're CUSTOM PROFILE idea would have worked...

1. Create profile as if level (no slope)
2. Use HORIZONTAL STRETCH
3. Make profile available to BEAMS

4. Apply profile to beam
5. Use BEAM's ROTATE parameter to match roof slope
6. Use modified slope to match HIP slope


Someday will have profiled edges for SLABS and ROOFs and this discuss will be moot.
