pwrd90 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Has anyone had any joy in creating a louvre roof for a patio through Chief? I've had a hunt around and haven't managed to find anything close to what i'm looking for and would welcome any input anyone else has. For clarity, what I'm referring to is an operable louvre roof, similar to the images attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renerabbitt Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 you can make a molding profile that becomes your planking and then convert it to a 3d molding profile so you can use it over and over again to quickly generate these. Shouldnt take you more than 10 minutes or so: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the column, caps, beam are all a cabinet that can be dynamically resized. the beam is a countertop generated from the cabinet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd need to make it yourself, nothing in chief's Catalogues...... there are a number of ways in Chief , like Rene's suggestions above, you can also use 3D Solids and multi-copy .... this one was done that way....

CAmichael240114 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I have done a few designs with opening louvre roofs. Attached is overviews of opening roofs I have done in CA, not very good images though. Attached are 3D symbols I have made up to represent an opening roof, not perfect but looks OK. In the file are the poly solids I use to create the opening roofs size/shape and then I convert it to a symbol. If any use all are welcome to them.
