Nicosia Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Hello, I am trying to create a curved roof. When i select a roof pane and open the options menu i am not seeing a "curved roof" option to select. The only options i see are: Height/Pitch, Measurements and Baseline in the "Roof Place Specification" general tab. Any help is parreciated.

glennw Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 What version of Chief are you using. Does your version do curved roofs. Can you post a pic of the General panel of the Roof Plane Specification dbx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicosia Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 ok i think i found my answer. apparently in home designer pro, you have to create multiple curved roof planes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Back in the early days before Chief added the curved roof option, the only way to emulate a curved roof was to manually create small roof sections at different pitches to emulate a curve. This was the only option for many years and versions until they added that option around version 9 of Chief Premier. In Home Designer Pro that is currently your ONLY option, other that setting a dormer default to a curved roof, exploding the dormer and then copy-paste the curved roof. In either case it is a very manual operation but can be done if you are intent enough to do so. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
