Roof and sloped terrain (Help a student in trouble :-))

Anonymous

Greetings to all ArchiCAD users.

I'm an architecture student and my latest task is to draw a house in ArchiCAD. However, I've been ill for the last three weeks and I've missed nearly all of my ArchiCAD-classes. Hence, my drawing skills are way below the level they should be to complete the task.
The problem is that the semester lasts for only one more week and I have to finish till next friday otherwise I lose a year.
In a "normal" situation I would ask for a tutorial or some little advice but I simply do not have time now.
So I'm IMPLORING someone to help me with drawing this task.

I'll attach an image of how the house looks (I apologize for the size of the picture) and I've also opened a website with additional images (plans and sections) which are useful for drawing. The address is www.geocities.com/hakerpepa

I'm particulary troubled with the sloped terrain and the roof.

I know I'm probably asking too much but considering the situation...
I also believe that to someone who knows how to work with ArchiCAD this isn't much of a problem to draw.

Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Srdan Gajic

Srdan,
I tried the link to your web site and got an error
as shown in the attached image so I could not see the
information about your project.

(Website seems to be working o.k. now, for me at least)

Wow, I wish it was that easy when I was at College.

Roof tool to create roof, ctrl-click to make valley/ridge edges meet.

Mesh tool for sloping ground.

Good luck.

I just found out my program is due Tuesday, not Friday.

So I'm in much bigger problems now.
People, please help!

It would have helped if we knew where in Europe you were ... so that people geographically close could offer their help.

I am not sure that anyone would be willing to do it for you ... but you might try.

Hey Mate,


Coming from another Architecture student's point of view, if I were you I would try and get an extension seen as you were sick...be honest with your lecturer and tell them your situation..you know, they're not out to fail you or anything....although I could've sworn my 2nd year lecturer was lol....nah but seriously....go over the step by step tutorials that come with archicad and see what you can do....if you can't do it then it may just be better off for you to repeat the subject...yeah you lose a year...but you will get over it come back bigger and better!

Good luck...I know exactly how you feel!!!

Cheers,

Andrew

Hmmm, no answers...

Come on, people, doesn't anyone find this challenging? Think of it as a competition: whoever finishes this house first and mails it to me wins a prize. The prize is... well, what can be more valuable than someone's gratitude and admiration?

You will do well in a big firm getting other people to do the work.

If you IM me with specific questions or a way to contact you I will do my best. These tools are easy to use and that house looks simple.
