Hi, probably a simple answer but why will my curved wall part not display correctly in perspective ?

 

Please see pictures below.

My guess is that you have trimmed your walls to your roof. When using that feature, anything that is outside the extent of your roof is removed. Remove the curves section of your wall from your trimming operation or extend your roof over it.

Is it trimmed to the main roof?

Looks like it is being cut off at the edge of the main roof.

Yes, I had pre trimmed the roof before making the curved wall part. I already tried to un-trim to roofs and tried again and I still had the same problem.

 

So it looks like the main roof must extend over or past the curved wall part before attempting trimming it again ?

 

I was wondering if I should have completed the plan before placing the roof on top ?

 

Thank you for your help, much appreciated.

Just don't trim the curved wall to the main roof.

Trim it to the roof (pink in your image) that extends over the curved wall.

For your curved part of wall, you can SEO it instead of Trimming. This messes with the PBI though...

Pink lines are just my set out guidelines, but I will put its own roof over the curved bay and not trim to main roof as you have directed me.

 

Thanks for the help, great tips !

 

Edit: Results, all good I just pulled the main roof out over it and was AOK. I didn’t need to do anything else. Easy as pulled pork lol !

PBI = Priority Based Intersections ?

 

I learned Archicad from the Australian Lazlo Nagy and his excellent Virtual Tutor series but I haven’t been doing any work since 2014. I am quite rusty ATM lol !
