NightMyst Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I am trying to design a wood shop...basically a square building. I need it to match the house structure which is southwest styled with stucco walls and a flat roof which is below the level of the walls...it has drain spouts around the top...anyone have any ideas how I do this? The front wall also has a slight arch in the center so it's not a rectangular wall. This roof is driving me nuts! NightMyst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightMyst Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 OK...got me...I'm definitely a newbie...how do I go about this and is there a size limit for the photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightMyst Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 AWESOME!....so far, just what I needed. The front wall will be stepped...each step a different height from the next....is there info on how to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Depending on the situation you could break the wall at each step or just work in elevation view and break the top edge of the wall poly line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightMyst Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Thanx...I thought that was the answer...I'll try today and see how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightMyst Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 I broke the front wall where I wanted the "step" to occur. However, I can't figure out how to change the wall heights of each section. The right section (looking at the front) I want at 24" (the height for the parapet), the middle section should "step up" 6 inches, and the final section to "step up" another 6-inches. I followed the "arched" instructions and can make the arch...but if I don't use that and use the step design I fumble around without progress.

Chopsaw Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Use the center handle of the sections you have created and work in an elevation view and you can use dimension tools to get it exact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightMyst Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 AWESOME! Thanx....I was hoping for some direction to lead me to the answers...instead I get an adjusted plan that shows what I'm after...Now all I have to do is deconstruct the drawing to learn how it's done! Kudos to ShaneK and solver for the help...and thanx to all others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
