SEO & roof

[Tom Krowka]

I drew a roof bigger than it should be, then used the SEO to intersect it with another roof. I see that everything intersected fine, but the original outline of the roof (which I thinkis a fill outline) does not move back to where it was intersected with the other roof.

Wouldn't you think the roof outline would move to the intersection? Can I do that other than manually? I tried rebuild, can't think of anything else to try.

Isn't the fill connected to the actual roof. It appears the fill stays at the original size of the roof.

Tom, not entirely clear about you query. Why use SEO? I would have thought the roof tool could do what you describe.

Tom,
SEO only shows in 3D.
It does not change the plan view.

Intersecting roof planes is still best done using the old CTRL click method. Does it properly.

Personally, I don't see much point in using SEOs on roofs. Subtracting roofs from whatever is beneath, yes.

What is the old CTRL click method.


Actually, I used the roof tool to draw a ceiling planes on a sloped ceilings. I did not any other way to make them intersect, other than drawing the ceiling lines in 2d as you would show in a reflected ceiling plan, then moving the nodes of the roof to the appropriates spots.

So any other way to accomplish that task would be appreciated.

Roofs are polygons.

They can be split, etc etc ... and Woody already answered what is CTRL click. Worked as long as I know ArchiCAD ...
