Triangle shape gutter

Anonymous
Not applicable
I am creating a triangle section gutter with 3% slope. I already made the solid morph, but I wonder how can I hollow to a wall thickness of 2mm.

Did you consider using a beam with a complex profile?

Or Detailed Extruded Shell?

I like using those for gutter detailing.

The trick with using a morph to do this would be to first create a polygon morph in section for the profile shape you need.
Then extrude or tube it.
Rather than trying to create a solid gutter and then hollowing it out.

However you will probably find it easier to use a complex profile as suggested.
Basically it is the same as it is a profile you extrude.
But being a complex profile, you can tweak the shape easily if you need to.
