How to create uneven roof parapet

A few ways to do it.  I'm assuming you already have the parapets and just need the stepping?

  • I use an upper floor that draws out all of my parapet walls (good for controlling the elevations and I like to have a parapet plan in my condocs)...I then use interior walls to define spaces/rooms that I can control the heights of that control the parapet heights.  These walls can be invisible if you don't want them seen.
  • then I use solids to detail it further:  adding the additional stepping. OR you can actually adjust the walls by breaking them and moving them up or down.

In your specific elevation. I would probably create 3 rooms:  one for each side/corner and one for the middle and define the ceiling heights to get the rough steps outlined.  I would then use solids to create the steps.  I prefer solids as it is easier to dimension and control since you can do it in floor plan view and elevation view and use dimension strings....IMO.  but wall breaks with moving them up or down can work as well....but only in elevation view.

 

Hope that gets you started in the right direction. Feel free to ask any follow up questions.
