Joining Roof Planes

[PatMemphis]

I watched a video on YouTube about creating a shed roof over a porch.  To join the roof planes, the video said to:

1.  Select the first plane.

2.  Hold the control key.

3.  Select the second plane.

4..Hit the "2" key.

 

And the program would join the 2 planes.

 

I have tried this, but have not been successful.  Can anyone assist?

 

Thank you

not sure if holding the control key is correct ?

• Left click and release on the first roof plane that you choose. Make sure you're near the edge of the roof plane that you want to connect with another roof plane when you click. It will make a red square or grip and you'll know that it's the chosen edge.
• Press and release the number two on your keyboard.
• Move your mouse to the next roof plane and click on it closer to the edge that you want to join with the initial roof plane.
• If you're building a shed roof, just drag the upper edge like a poly line until it bumps into the wall at the top of the roof plane.
• As soon as you click on the second roof plane, the software should automatically connect the two roof planes.
• If it does not then there are other things to look into.

 

This is coming from memory and dictated through a microphone so there may be some confusion in there since I may miss something in proofreading.

Bob is right, no need to hold the control key.  Pick and edge, pick the other edge...
