Hyrule Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Anyone know where I can find a Victorian roof cresting symbol or object? The ones built into Chief aren't quite what I'm looking for. Thanks! Monty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Do you have a photo or sketch of what you are looking for? If it is not too complicated or if it repeats maybe it could be drawn in Chief. This is a quick and dirty transparent image clipped from the web and quickly edited then imported as material and applied to a psolid. Will this work or are you looking for more?

Hyrule Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 Thanks Chopsaw for the idea! I've attached some photos but if nothing exists I can draw something in Sketchup. I was hoping someone could point to a site like https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com that might have a 3D object. I have also contacted http://www.architecturaliron.com/roof-cresting/cresting to see if they have any 3D objects. Monty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Funny that we both landed on the same website. Let me know if you need some help converting to a material. I checked some of you other posts, quite a project you are into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northriver Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Was the original intent of roof ridge cresting used to keep birds(pigeons maybe) off the roof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyrule Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 Thanks Chopsaw! Northriver, that would be my guess. Everything I can find says it's just for decoration. However, by having roof cresting on the edges of a Mansard roof it would prevent birds from pooping on the visible areas of the roof I would think. I'm just doing it for decoration.
