winterdd Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Hey guys, is a widows walk nothing more than stopping roofing planes at a certain point and adding a zero pitch roof plane to close off the roof and then add railing walls above it to form a flat platformed space? I assume there are two types, a cupola type with windows and actual platform type. Client wants it just for looks and not be able to actually get up to the platform. The home is being built overlooking a bay. I guess the main question is how to get CA to recognize the space as a platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDesLLC Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Draw it as a deck with rails, and then make the roof planes run into it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericepv Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I had a project similar to this a few months ago, I drew it as another floor... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterdd Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 Does the platform version need a slight slope to it? I assume it does but can just note it on the drawing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just note it on the drawing. There's no benefit from modeling it, and it would eat up time that is best allocated to more profitable endeavors.
