decorators3 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Hi Usually I don't have too many issues with roofs , I am trying to create a rendering for this plan. but the roof plan is very confusing to me. I tried to auto build roof ( you can see how that turned out by image below ) then change from gable to hip and vice versa depending on the plan but it doesn't seem to work. Then I tried manual roof planes but that didn't work. I'm trying to figure out the roof plan the architect did so I can recreate it in 3D it. Am I making too much of this? I'm two days now trying to get planes to join, If someone could just explain the architects overhead roof plan then I can try and copy it. I've watched the videos I have no issue with the front and rear gables it's the side gables that I cant seem to get right elevations show the roof structure I'm following Any suggestions are welcome, In the meantime I will continue on with manual roof planes Thanks Levina architect front and rear elevations.pdf architect roof view.pdf architect side elevations.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 To start, there are no side gables. There are only gables at the front and rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I could fix this very quickly for you if you posted your plan file. If you are 2 days into this, you should really consider either paying for some training or hiring out the roof. You may be surprised how little you'd need to pay because for an expert, that roof is only several minutes of work! Post your plan or send me a PM with a file link and I'll fix this one for you just to be helpful! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
