Sloped barrel roof.. how?

[Rick Thompson]

I am trying to make a barrel roof, and pitched. This is new territory for me, and a with particularly difficult client... my wife:) I have played with the barrel roof tool, but pitching it is beyond me. It would seem this should be doable, but I don't know... mesh???

Any ideas would be appreciated.. I have shown what I want in blue.

Easy with ArchiForma 2. Or:

If the curve radius is the same from drip edge to ridge, then try generating a barrel as required at the drip edge, view in 3D at the desired slope (or better, add a ROT command so you can parametrically rotate it), then bring the object back in and use SEOps to cut the ends and edges as required. (?)

easy for you to say... computer phd grad

Rick:

Karl means to use an object out of the library and trim it to size with SEO.
No math. no programming. all visual.

Simple AND brilliant, as long as the mapping works.

oh... thanks for the help... big nose

you don't know who you are talking to... since it will be built about 100 yards away (91.44 meters to you), I will most likely end up using hand jesters... it worked a long time ago, might work now.

but, it could be fun to go "there", maybe one day


thanks to both of you for your directions. I might surprise myself... if so I will post results later:)

My nose is so big that on weekends we rent it out to Greyhound to park two buses.
