luckyudesign Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I need to draw a remodel for this building. Can anyone help me figure out how to draw the sloped walls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHampton Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Chief doesn't draw sloped walls... however Chief can draw roof planes. Suggestion... Draw an exterior wall and make it invisible. Draw the roof planes with a very steep negative pitch. Add skylights to the steep roof sections for the "windows". Use a 3D molding poly-line for the sill. After the first roof plane is created, the process should be easy. Edit... The attached plan file may be of help. (2) roof slope options. (-77 in 12) as well as a positive slope (33 in 12). It's a start... The roof structure can be made thicker as necessary, but the general concept is there. Untitled 1.plan 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_N Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Now that is a very creative way to use a roof plane and skylights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyudesign Posted June 1 Author Share Posted June 1 this method had actually rolled through my mind but I thought surely there was an easier way I didn't know about...... but doesn't look like it..... This is a funky little guest house that was supposedly bought at the New York World Fair..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHampton Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Thanks Doug. Chief Architect is certainly capable of building just about anything. And you’re welcome LD. That’s quite interesting about your project, because that’s exactly the timeframe when those slanted glass walls were quite popular. The TWA terminal at JFK airport is not too far away. (From the Worlds Fairgrounds that is.) The architecture at that time was incredibly cutting edge, and influenced many trends. …This is still probably one the coolest building ever. Anyway, glad to have been of help. I can’t think of any other way to achieve the result with the exception of 3D solids …which would still be kind of tricky, since the facets are hard to make and join for a tilted wall section. Maybe when the Z versions come out, they’ll have a tilted wall option available. …All the best! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHCanada2 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 this works pretty good for sloped the other way as well. but need to set the eave as square not plumb plumb: square Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
