Need help on creating a roof. i have a slightly rectangular space I want to place a 4 sided hip roof on. I want to have each side come to a point. Is there a way to force the roof to do this. When I create it, it ends up with a slight ridge line that I don't want. Using 9.1. Thanks

In 2008 it is very simple. In 9.1There are a couple ways. you'll want to make a mass in the shape you want, then create roof by face. Or you have to calculate what slope would get it to a point. Or the final and probably the easiest is to create the roof in 4 triangles using a slope arrow to define the height of the point. basically do a roof by foot print, then from fascia line, draw a slope arrow from there to the point you want the top at. Then set the prop. of the slope arrow to have the head height of the arrow at the height you want the point. Repeat for the remaining 3 triangle.s

You will need to do one of two things: 1) Calculate what the roof pitch needs to be for each side (since only a square roof will come to a point naturally) in order for the ridge to go away. Once you have the pitches for each side, specify the pitch in roof edit mode. 2) Model the roof as an in place family and make the point the way you want it. HTH.

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is never get involved in a land war in asia, but only slightly less well known is this! Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! |

SDBrown's massing technique would probably work best, however. Not sure why I didn't think of that
