Creating Titled Exterior walls

[MSID_McKenzie]

Hello Chief Masters, 

 

I am working with an Architect that likes to create Tilted / Slanted Exterior walls. This wall in specific is all windows. I have run into the issue of not being able to do this in Chief. 

 

Can anyone walk me through the process of achieving this look?

Battered walls is just something Chief does not do yet, you can add p-solids to get the look but in my opinion it's just too much trouble and extra time to do so I stay away from those projects.

I had a job like this recently, I drew the walls with poly-lines. It came out pretty nice but as Perry said, it's a pain.

You'd have to do some modeling for the windows but you could use a roof plane:

Between solids, slabs, symbols and 3d moldings, it's not as difficult as you might think...but it's still difficult. I know an individual who modeled this building in Chief (see  link below).

@dskogg Maybe he'll post a few images...it'll make us rethink what can be done in Chief! I helped work through the process of a few techniques, but he did it and the model turned out great.

I find it best to establish a plan of action before you get to your computer and if I'm not mistaken these plans formulate while sleeping, right?

@robdyck Thank you for the feedback! Would love a step by step tutorial or to book some sort of one on one training for this. I am struggling big time
