creating a vaulted roof

[Anonymous]

I am making a vaulted roof using complex profiled wall and two roofs. The wall is the vault and is trimmed to the roofs. The finished product is rectangular but the building is a polygon. One roof corner is projecting through a wall where it shouldn't. I can trim it with a solid element operator. However the interior should show one spring line for the whole roof. Id also like to have the roof ends curve slightly (like a dome) and model the crickets along the perimeter. I get the impression I can do all this with OBJECTIVE. I have a trial but cannot figure this out.

I'm not clear on all the details you are trying to draw, but I think you can do this with OBJECTiVE. Referring to the attached example:

• 1. Draw a cross-section through the roof and create a new profiled object with OBJECTiVE > Component > New Profile.
  
  2. Rotate the profile with OBJECTiVE > Tools > Rotate to view it side-on.
  
  3. Cut the roof profile at the ends using OBJECTiVE > Tools > Split.
  
  4. Rotate the roof into the correct (level) orientation with OBJECTiVE > Tools > Rotate and cut the corner off with OBJECTiVE > Tools > Split.
  
  5. A copy of the roof can be used to carve out the underside (with a SEO). The finished result in 3D.

That is great. However the corner that you cut off angles upward. I need that to edge to be at the same elevation as the rest of the spring line for the roof.

Can you provide a sketch of the proposed roof?
