Radiused exterior wall

[winterdd]

Hey guys, the questions continue. This would be a first for me. Radiused exterior wall and roof. How would a builder do this or how can we break the overhang to curve with the wall if that would even look good at all?

Roof would probably need to be segmented to create the curve. You might consider drawing something similar in a new drawing and let chief roof it for you to get the idea. As far as being built the framer would probably just bend the wall rat sill on that curve and then attach the studs and curve the top plates. Something tighter would probably require another method.

It looks similar to a bow window. You could do small roof sections and have them come back to a straight section where the wall breaks at the curve

Thanks guys I was hoping this tool would work after adding a break on the mid span of the roof overhang. I love this tool but aren't having any luck.

Yes, in order to keep your fascia level (if that is your goal).

I tried to duplicate what you did Rene, and it does work for the plan view, but when you look at a camera view, nothing has changed, the roof still has a straight edge.  Did I miss something?

That's pretty cool.  Did not realize roof and regular polylines can be added together.  Thanks for the tip!
