It will / would be A LOT OF WORK :)   I thought Chief had a KB Tutorial on Eyebrow Dormers but couldn't I find it , but did find a Video on "Compound Curved Roofs" and the principles would be the same, just smaller, unfortunately, it will take quite a bit of trial and error as the Video is not very in-depth.

Rob,

 

I've had "reasonable" success with making thatched roofs using Terrain Tools.

You'll need to work outside the box.

  1. Create the house using a conventional roof
  2. Create the thatched roof in a separate plan as Terrain
    1. Make the terrain perimeter size and shape you want it to be in the final model
    2. Use terrain elevation lines to achieve the shape of the roof
    3. When you are done, apply the thatch material to the terrain and export the terrain as a 3DS file
  3. Import the 3DS file into the working model (with a conventional roof)
  4. Place the 3ds Model on the roof top - kind of like a hat.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Good Luck. Have fun with it.
